Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches

Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches are the Nutter Butters! The peanut butter flavor is paired up with a creamy filling and chewy cookies! 

When in doubt, more peanut butter right? That is exactly what we want in these peanut butter sandwich cookies! My version is a great alternative to the classic, processed Nutter Butters you had when you were a kid! 

My spin on it? We are using whole ingredients and you only need 7 of them! You probably won’t even need to run to the store, because most of these ingredients are pantry staples! 

Speaking of pantry staples, I get DMs all of the time asking about our grocery hauls. So if you are interested you can check out what we typically buy from Trader Joe’s and Costco.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches

For the cookies:

Peanut butter – if at all possible use creamy, natural. You guessed it, my favorite is Trader Joe’s because it has the perfect amount of salt! 

Coconut sugar – if you don’t have coconut sugar, you can replace it with table sugar, but this is healthier

Egg

Vanilla extract

Baking soda

Salt

For the filling:

Peanut butter

Pure maple syrup – organic is the best! The darker the syrup the more natural it is!

Coconut flour

Vanilla extract

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches 

Combine all of the cookie ingredients into a medium mixing bowl. Mix together well. You can use a mixer or hand mix them. 

Then using a large spoon or a cookie scoop, add the cookie dough to a baking sheet. If you are using a cookie scoop, press down slightly to flatten them out a little bit. Go ahead and bake those at 350 degrees for about 7 minutes. 

While the peanut butter cookies are baking, combine the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix well using a mixer. 

Flip half of the cookies over (this will be the bottoms) and add a dollop of the peanut butter filling. Do this by using a spoon or piping bag if you have one. Then take the remaining cookies and squish them together! 

How To Store Sandwich Cookies 

Place them in a single layer in an air-tight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, if they last that long! 

Can You Freeze Them? 

Yes! Once you have assembled the cookies, add them to a freezer bag. Separate with parchment paper if needed. You can also leave them on the cookie sheet and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes, then add them to a freezer bag. This is also known as flash freezing. 

I am so excited about these, and especially if you have kids, they will be too! After you make them tag me on Instagram! Bonus points if you show photos of making them with your babies!
