Be sure to use regular peanut butter not old-fashioned or freshly ground for the best consistency in the cookie batter and the filling. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt |
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup powdered sugar |
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar |
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 large egg |
1 1/3 cups (about 8 ounces) milk chocolate chips |
3 ounces high-quality milk chocolate (such as lindt or perugina), chopped |
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt |
6 tablespoons whipping cream |
Directions:
1. For cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat powdered sugar, dark brown sugar, and butter in large bowl to blend.
2. Add peanut butter; beat until creamy. Gradually beat in vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then egg. Add dry ingredients; mix just until blended. Stir in milk chocolate chips.
3. Drop cookie dough by level tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake cookies until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer cookies to rack to cool completely.
4. For filling: Place chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and kosher salt in medium bowl. Bring whipping cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Chill until filling is thick and spreadable, about 1 hour.
5. Spread about 1 rounded teaspoonful chocolate-peanut butter filling on flat side of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, forming sandwich. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies. (Cookie sandwiches can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
