Gluten Free Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

I feel like these cookies need to come with a warning. They are addictive! My gluten free (and dairy free, if need be) friends, these remind me of those store bought peanut butter sandwich cookies (that will remain nameless) that we can't have anymore. The best part of this is that they are made with better ingredients. So, while you eat your treat, you can at least eat it knowing it's coming from a better place. For the cookies . . . these sweet babies are a combination of delicious wholesome oats and creamy luscious peanut butter. Um, HELLO! The cookies are even better the next day when the filling has time to set the cookie and bring it all together. Which makes it perfect for picnics or parties when you need to prep the day before!

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Makes about 16 sandwiches Cookie Filling
  • 3 Tbsp Butter (or dairy free stick butter alternative)
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • cup Peanut Butter
In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and blend just until mixed well. Add oatmeal and stir. Drop by tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheet, and press each mound down with a fork to form 1/4 inch thick cookies. Bake at 350 for 10-13 minutes, or until cookies are a light brown. To Make Filling: Cream 3 tablespoons butter with the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter. Spread filling onto half of the cooled cookies, then top with the other half to form sandwiches.
