Adorned with a luscious filling and topped with a rich layer, these cookies are not only visually appealing but also incredibly satisfying to bite into. Here’s how to create this scrumptious treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and grated ginger to the butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust the milk amount as needed to reach your desired thickness.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of the filling on half of the cookies and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Enjoy your Peanut-Ginger Double-Deckers with a cup of tea or coffee!
