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..

    Aww, I love Nutter Butters so much but I can’t seem to find a copycat recipe that’s authentic. I’m sure this recipe is tasty, but real Nutter Butters are–like Oreos–actually vegan (surprisingly enough), and therefore beloved not just by peanut butter loving vegans but also by those who are allergic to eggs and/or lactose intolerant. I wish I could figure out how Nabisco manages to make these cookies without eggs or milk when all of the copycat recipes use them.

      Hi Ace, I had no idea those cookies were actually vegan. I am sure they use artificial flavoring in theirs.

      For best tasting cookies, make the dough and frosting in advance, refrigerate for up to 5 days and bake the same day you’ll be serving them.
