Ingredients

The peanut butter cookie dough is a fairly standard recipe. You will need the following ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter at room temperature. This recipe uses the 'creaming' method to create the dough. Room temperature butter will enable the creaming process to work its magic!
  • Granulated and brown sugar: light or dark brown sugar will work fine.
  • Large egg: room temperature
  • Peanut butter: creamy or chunky peanut butter will both work well in this recipe. Personally I prefer chunky to add a little texture to the cookie.
  • All-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt (eliminate the salt if using salted butter).

The fudgy icing used for the filling in the peanut butter sandwich cookie is my favorite icing recipe! It isn't overly sweet and has a rich chocolate taste and color. This icing will take about an hour to set up to a spreadable consistency. To make the icing you will need the following ingredients:

ingredients needed to make fudge icing recipe including chocolate, cream, corn syrup and butter
  • Bittersweet chocolate: 72% chocolate works nicely. Chop the chocolate into small pieces before pouring the hot cream over it. You may also use bittersweet chocolate chips in this recipe.
  • Heavy cream
  • Light corn syrup
  • Unsalted butter: softened to room temperature

Cookie Sandwich Assembly

To assemble the peanut butter chocolate sandwich cookies simply follow the recipe below to make the cookies. Once the cookies are cool and the fudge icing has set to a spreadable consistency, you may fill the cookies.

Arrange half of the cookies on a sheet pan and place a tablespoon of fudge icing on the flat side of the cookie. Then place another cookie on top of the icing and press lightly.

FAQs

How do I make cookies the same size?

I recommend a cookie scoop to assure uniformity. Click here to check out my favorite set of cookie scoops. This set contains three sizes.

How should I store the peanut butter cookies filled with chocolate?

Place the cookies in an air-tight container and store at room temperature for up to 4 days. Keep in the fridge if your home is quite warm else the chocolate filling may become too soft. You may also freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.

Instructions
 

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃)
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, begin creaming the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2 - 4 minutes on medium speed). Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Add the egg to the bowl and mix on medium speed until incorporated. Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.

Fudge Filling

  • Combine chocolate and butter in a heat-proof bowl.
  • Bring heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer and pour over chocolate and butter. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Stir mixture until chocolate and butter are melted. If not melted completely, heat for 15 second bursts in microwave, stirring between each heating.

Assembling Cookies

  • Arrange the cookies in pairs by matching up similar sized cookies.
  • Pipe or spoon approximately 1 tablespoon fudge filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
  • Sandwich with the remaining cookies and gently press until the filling reaches the edges.
