Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Stir the cookie ingredients together until smooth. Scoop out 1 inch balls of cookie dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to make the criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.
Bake for 12 minutes and then let cool on the tray for 1-2 more minutes.
For the filling: beat the butter and peanut butter in a big bowl with a hand mixer together until smooth.
Slowly add in your powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Spread a tablespoon of the filling onto the bottom side of one of the cookies and then top with another cookie to create a cookie sandwich…a nutter butter sandwich!
Enjoy!
