These heavenly peanut butter sandwich cookies are the salty-sweet sandwich cookie of your dreams! Made with chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies and a creamy peanut butter filling, you’ll love these little cookies!

Happy Friday from this old, but still SO good recipe. If you’ve been following along with Broma since the beginning, you’ll probably remember these addicting, nutty peanut butter cookies sandwiched together with a creamy peanut butter frosting. The recipe comes from my friend Mallory’s childhood nanny, Didi, who would make these for her growing up and they are one of my most FAVORITE cookies of all time.

They were one of my first recipes published on Broma. And we’re feeling nostalgic (and craving some halfway to heaven peanut butter cookies), so we brought these babies out of 2010 with some new photos!

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love these cookies. They’re bite sized, chewy and perfectly peanut buttery. I’m sure they’re packed with protein…so like basically a post workout snack? The teaspoon sized cookies are delicious on their own, but sandwich them together with peanut butter icing and you’re in heaven–or at least halfway 🙂

These peanut butter cookies get their name “halfway to heaven peanut butter cookies,” because of their easy to remember recipe that’s almost entirely measured in halves. And there’s nothing I love more than a simple, easy to memorize recipe.

Expect for Alex (maybe).

How to make peanut butter cookies less dense?

These peanut butter cookie sandwiches are packed full of peanut butter flavor, but if you have an aversion to the signature heaviness of a pb cookie, never fear. Truly I hear you, and I hate when you take a bite of a peanut butter cookie that sticks to the roof of your mouth and glues your teeth together. These cookies are also packed with oatmeal which helps to even out the nuttiness and give it a good chew.

Looking at this recipe I cannot believe that this was NINE years ago. All that to say, it’s amazing how far Broma has come, and honestly gets me feeling allll the feels. We’ve grown our team, picked up a couple thousand more followers (hey new friends!), launched Foodtography School and fostered an amazing community of talented food photographers that inspire me everyday, and along the way eaten we’ve eaten many brownies 🙂

And all of that is made possible by YOU! I’m so happy that you’re along for this wild ride with me and am so grateful to each and every one of you.

Gahh now I’m crying.

Love and brownies,

Sarah
