• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (for desired consistency)

Instructions​

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Cookies:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until creamy.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
   • Add the vanilla extract and 2-3 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches your desired consistency.
4. Assemble the Whoopie Pies:
   • Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
   • Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
   • Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Enjoy these Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies as a deliciously sweet and indulgent treat with a rich peanut butter flavor in every bite!
