Homemade Do-si-dos (Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies)

Makes about 40-50 sandwich cookies (a.k.a. A lot!)

Cookies:

 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour

 2 tbsp baking soda
 1 tbsp baking powder
 ½ tsp salt
 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, room temperature
 ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter
 1 cup brown sugar
 1 cup granulated sugar
 3 large eggs
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 1 ½ cups quick cooking oats

Filling:

 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter, room temperature (preferably not the kind that needs
to be refrigerated)
 ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
 ¼ cup confectioners sugar

Be sure all your butter is out in advance to be at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350°F

Start by making the cookies. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt, then set aside.

In a large bowl (preferably a stand mixer bowl), cream together butter and crunchy peanut
butter. Beat in the sugars until fluffy, then add in the eggs one at a time to make sure each is
well combined with the mixture. Now stir in vanilla extract.

Working on a low speed, mix in the flour slowly. After the flour is well incorporated, mix in the
oats.

On a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet, drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the cookie batter
about 2 inches apart for spreading.
Bake for about 10 minutes until the edges start to brown (if they aren’t ready at 10 it should
only take 1-2 more minutes – they are quite thin, so I didn’t want to say 10-12 because if you
let some of them go for 12 they will be burnt). Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a
cooling rack for the rest of the cooling.

While they are cooling, make the filling.

In a large bowl, cream together the smooth peanut butter, butter, and confectioners sugar until
very smooth.

Now, take half of the cookies and flip them over so they are upside-down. Place 1-2 tsp of the
filling in the center of the cookies that are upside-down. Now you can take the right side up
cookies and place them on top of the filling topped cookies to make the sandwiches.

That’s it!  Be sure to store in an airtight container/baggie.
