Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for filling consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are set. Let cookies cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the peanut butter filling by beating together peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Once cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another to make a sandwich.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a firmer filling, refrigerate the cookie sandwiches for 30 minutes before serving.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if preferred.
