Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/4 cup milk (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined to create the peanut butter filling.
- To assemble the cookies, take a small amount of cookie dough (about 1 tablespoon) and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Place a small teaspoon of the peanut butter filling in the center, then cover the filling with another small piece of cookie dough. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and peanut butter filling.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may still look soft, but it will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
- If you prefer chunky peanut butter, you can use it in place of creamy peanut butter for a bit of texture in the filling.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
