Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies

Imagine 2 crispy peanut butter cookies filled with a creamy peanut frosting. These Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies are much better than the store bought kind since you can enjoy them in a bigger cookie with delicious flavor. Plus these are so much fun to bake! There’s nothing better than a homemade cookie.

Remember last week when I was trying to make a peanut butter cookie and forgot to add the granulated sugar? The result was a delicious crumbly soft cookie. Delicious by itself but my main mission was to make a thin crispy cookie with lot’s of peanut butter flavor like the original Nutter Butter. So after a few tries, I am pleased to say that I FINALLY mastered my technique and got the recipe just right. I ended up combining brown and white sugar together so I could have the depth of flavor with a crispy cookie.

Making these Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies are so easy. Simply make the dough and roll into little balls. Then with a cookie stamp or just a fork make the little waffle cone shape on top before baking.

My main idea was to make the top design with a fork, but my mom found these cute Cookie Stamps at the mall last week and I decided to give them a try. They made the cookies look so cute! My daughter helped me doing this part. She

They made the cookies look so cute! My daughter helped me doing this part. She felt so proud with the results. Although these were cute, your certainly don’t need them to make my Copycat Nutter Butter Cookies.

I love the fact that before they go in the oven they look so tiny. And now check out how they spread during the baking process:

When they cool down, simply add some peanut butter frosting into every other cookie and sandwich them together. The only hard part of this process is to resist temptation from eating them..

And that’s it! See? I told you they were easy. My brother in law helped me get the peanut flavor of the frosting just right.
