Recipe type: Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
For the filling:
½ cup cream cheese
½ cup marshmallow cream
½ cup Nutella
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Place the butter and sugars in a large bowl and beat for several minutes until fluffy and pale in color. Add the peanut butter and beat for a few more seconds until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat another few seconds until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold to combine. Be careful not to over-stir.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a non-stick cookie sheet, pressing a grid pattern into them with a fork. Bake for 8-9 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling:
Place the cream cheese, marshmallow cream and Nutella in a bowl and beat until combined.
Using a butter knife, spread the filling on the bottom side of one cookie and place another cookie on top.
Makes about 32 sandwich cookies.
