How to Make Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches

We’ll take two peanut butter oatmeal cookies and sandwich them together with a deliciously thick peanut butter filling. I recommend using a non-natural peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy. (Natural or homemade varieties are a little too oily.)

1. Make the cookie dough.The cookie dough will be thick.
2. Scoop the dough into balls.Use about 2 heaping teaspoons of dough per cookie (almost 1 Tablespoon—any size around here is great). Place them onto a baking sheet.
3. Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball.This helps the cookies spread a little as they bake. Use the back of a measuring cup or drinking glass to gently press down on each dough ball.
4. Bake.Bake the cookies until the edges are lightly browned and appear set.
5. Make the peanut butter filling.Beat the ingredients together until smooth.
6. Sandwich together.Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the frosting onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with the other. You can also use a piping tip to do this. I usedpiping tip #12to pipe the frosting onto the cookies before sandwiching.

No Chill Cookie Recipe

This is a no-chill cookie recipe. No waiting around for cookie dough to chill! This dough is pretty sturdy and won’t over-spread in the oven, so that’s why it’s okay to skip the chilling step. In fact, these cookies need a little nudge in the spreading direction. What I like to do is take a measuring cup or the bottom of a glass and gently press the dough balls down before baking. (Watch how I do this in the video above. So simple.)

I have plenty more no chill cookie recipes like giant chocolate chip cookies, black and white cookies, pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and lace cookies. Shortbread wedges are another option that don’t even require any dough shaping either—they bake up right in a cake pan!

Peanut Butter Filling

The peanut butter cookies are incredible, but the filling is the center of attention. Made with 3 simple ingredients—peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar to thicken, and honey to smooth it out. I added the honey at the last minute and I’m so glad I did! This peanut butter filling is super peanut buttery and doesn’t taste overly sweet like frosting. Rather, it’s like a very thick and smooth peanut butter.

You can spread or pipe the filling between two cookies. I used my Wilton #12 round tip. Honestly, it tastes good no matter how it’s slathered on.
