Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Are you a Nutter Butter addict? I am but sometimes I want nice, soft sandwich peanut butter cookies rather than a crispy, crunchy one. The trouble I had was I still wanted that authentic nutter butter taste, not just a regular peanut butter cookie.

Cookie Dough
- 3 Cups Nutter Butter cookie crumbs 32 crushed Nutter Butters including filling
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- ½ Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ Cup Butter softened but not melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Eggs
Peanut Butter Frosting
- ½ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4 Tbs. Butter softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Tbs. Milk
- 1 Cup icing sugar
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Crush nutter butter cookies in a food processor filling and all until they are fine crumbs.
Measure the nutter butter crumbs, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix to combine.
Add the butter, vanilla, and eggs.
Mix until the cookie dough comes together in a dough that’s not sticky but holds together. This step will take a little patience. Do not add more liquid to the dough.
Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets with a 1 ½ Tbs or #40 scoop. You should get 12 to a baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie to about ¼ inch thick using the bottom of a glass cup.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. Do not overbake.
Completely cool the cookies before frosting.
For the frosting, beat the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, milk and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Spread or pipe frosting onto one cookie and top will another.
