Do-Si-Do Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven, and another in the bottom third.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter.
- Beat in the dark brown and granulated sugar for about 5 minutes or until very pale, light, and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the peanut butter.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
- Add the oats.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Scoop out 2 ounces of cookie dough and roll into balls with your hands.
- Using the bottom of a tumbler or other glass, flatten the cookie-dough balls into 1/2-inch high circles.
- Arrange the disks on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the peanut butter for about 5 minutes on medium speed.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
- Scrape the filling into a large zipper-top or pastry bag and set aside.
- Bake the cookies until theyre a light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
- Let the cookies rest on their baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer directly to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, turn over half the cookies, flat side up.
- If youre using the zipper-top bag for piping, snip off a small tip of one of the bottom corners.
- Pipe about 1 tablespoon of the filling on cookies sitting flat side up.
- Place the remaining cookies on top and gently press to squeeze the filling out to the edges.
- Serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
