Homemade Nutter Butters
Soft, creamy, and irresistibly peanut buttery, these Homemade Nutter Butters are a nostalgic favorite made better. Perfectly golden cookies with a rich filling in every bite.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 ½ cups – Provides structure and balance.
- Baking Soda: ½ teaspoon – Helps the cookies rise and puff slightly.
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon – Enhances and balances the sweetness.
- Unsalted Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), softened – Adds richness and moisture.
- Granulated Sugar: ½ cup – Sweetens and helps with the cookie’s slight crisp.
- Brown Sugar: ½ cup, packed – Adds depth of flavor and chewiness.
- Egg: 1 large – Binds the dough together.
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Adds a warm, aromatic touch.
- Creamy Peanut Butter: ¾ cup – The star of the show, providing that signature flavor.
- Filling – Creamy Peanut Butter: ½ cup – Rich and nutty base.
- Filling – Powdered Sugar: 1 cup – Adds sweetness and smooth texture.
- Filling – Butter: ¼ cup, softened – Helps blend and adds creaminess.
- Filling – Milk: 1–2 tablespoons – Adjusts consistency to perfect spreadability.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until a dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Assemble the Dish: Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Cook to Perfection: While cookies cool, make the filling: beat peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add milk one spoon at a time until creamy.
- Finishing Touches: Pair up cookies by size, spread filling on the flat side of one, and sandwich with the other.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let them rest for a few minutes to set, then enjoy with a cold glass of milk or your favorite warm drink.
Notes
- Chill the dough for cleaner shapes and better flavor.
- Don’t overbake—cookies should be soft in the center.
- Use creamy peanut butter for best texture and baking results.
- Cookies taste even better the next day after flavors meld.
