I don’t like peanut butter, so when the little green cookie mafia show up with their tables at grocery stores this time of year, I leave the peanut butter ones alone. (I’m retired so I didn’t have to apologize for not buying some from a co-worker’s kid.) I’m all in on the mints and coconut caramel ones. So I decided to make a sandwich cookie featuring cookie butter. I wish they had these at the cookie booth; I would have gotten yelled at for buying 12 boxes instead of 8. I hope you like it.

Wet ingredients:
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1/2 cup cookie butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Filling:
1/2 cup cookie butter
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 375.

In bowl 1 add brown sugar, cookie butter, and butter. Cream until smooth.

Add egg and vanilla to bowl and mix to combine.

In bowl 2 add flour, salt, and baking soda and mix.

Add bowl 2 into bowl 1 in threes parts. Mix to combine.

On parchment paper add dough and roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut in 2-inch circles.

Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 9 -10 minutes.

Frosting – Cream cookie butter and butter until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar at a time until smooth and spreadable.

Slather frosting on the cookie bottom add cookie and make a sandwich.

Serve.
