Nutter Butter Cookie Recipe
Nutter Butter Cookies are a fun easy to make peanut butter sandwich cookie with a creamy peanut butter filling. The cookies are shaped like cute little peanuts.
Ingredients
- 1 Package of Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon of water
- 1/2 stick of butter at room temperature
- 1 cup of Peanut Butter
- 4 Tablespoons of Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla
- 2 cups of Confectionary' Sugar aka Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Cookies
- Mix the cookie mix, oil, egg and water until well blended and you can shape the dough with your hand.
- Once the cookie mix is ready, break off a little piece and place it in a mini number 8 or snowman cookie cutter. I used a set of mini eyes cookie cutter from a set of ghost cutters I got at Wal-Mart.
- If you don't have a mini cookie cutter that will work, roll two small balls and place them side by side.
- Use a turkey lacer or toothpick to make the peanut lines in each cookie. You should have about 65-2 1/2" cookies which will make about 32 Nutter Butter Cookies.
- Bake at 375° for 5-7 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool before adding the filling.
- Filling
- Mix the peanut butter, butter, milk until well blended.
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix well.
- Repeat with the second cup of powdered sugar.
- Spread some filling on the back side of a peanut butter cookie and top with another cookie.
