Cookies
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/3 cups (about 8 ounces) milk chocolate chips
Filling
3 ounces high-quality milk chocolate (such as Lindt or Perugina), chopped
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
6 tablespoons whipping cream

Steps:

  • For cookies:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat powdered sugar, dark brown sugar, and butter in large bowl to blend.

  • For filling:
  • Place chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and kosher salt in medium bowl. Bring whipping cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Chill until filling is thick and spreadable, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and equipment. This will help streamline the baking process and ensure you don't miss any steps.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: When baking, it's important to use room temperature ingredients, especially butter and eggs. This ensures they incorporate evenly into the batter and results in a smooth, consistent texture.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps the centers soft and chewy. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft when they come out of the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.

These chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookies are a classic combination of sweet and salty that's sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can make these cookies at home in no time. Be sure to experiment with different fillings, such as Nutella, marshmallow fluff, or jam, to create your own unique variations.
