Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 3 cup 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
Top Tips
You may find this odd, but these Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies call for crushed nutter butter cookies. Essentially, they are cookies made from cookies! This is how you get that authentic flavor. You will use the entire cookie, filling and all. Baking Tip: My preference is to bake these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, but you could also spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray. I can typically fit 12 full sized cookies on a pan or 20 mini cookies. Don’t forget to press each scoop of cookie dough with the bottom of a flat glass. This will make the cookies bake evenly and give you flat topped cookies. Rounded tops will make your Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies look more like whoopie pies rather than sandwich cookies.Nutrition
