- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Salted Butter Cream Filling
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup butter softened, almost melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1-2 tsp flaked sea salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
First we'll make the cookies. In a large bowl whisk together the maple syrup, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Then stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and a somewhat thick batter forms.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop 16 cookies onto your tray. Using a fork, lightly flatten the cookies.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. They may look slightly under cooked - thats ok! Let them sit on the tray to fully cool.
Meanwhile, make your icing. In a medium bowl, add the very softened butter, coconut oil, vanilla and salt. Whisk a few times. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar. Continue to mix until combined. Then slowly add in the remaining cup of powdered sugar.
Once the cookies have cooled, assemble the cookie sandwiches.
Store the cookies in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy them! Let them sit out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying so the cookie and the filling can soften up a bit. You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
