Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (125 g) natural creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • A pinch of salt (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart (makes about 24 cookies).
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. While cookies cool, beat peanut butter and softened butter in a small bowl until smooth.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until fluffy and creamy.
  12. Pair cookies of similar size. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter filling on the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie, pressing gently until filling spreads to edges.
  13. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for firmer filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

Use softened, not melted butter for best texture. Do not overmix dough after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Warm peanut butter slightly if thick for smoother filling. Store sandwiches in airtight container; refrigerate for firmer filling. Variations include nut-free, vegan, and seasonal spice adaptations.
