Oatmeal Peanut Butter Sandwich Cremes (Knockoff Cookies)
Yield: 30
Prep time: 25 MinCook time: 8 MinTotal time: 33 Min
These are GS knockoff oatmeal filled with peanut butter cookies. You can adapt these to be a P&J cookie also.
Ingredients
- Oatmeal cookie dough:
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of cinnamon
- 1 cup of Old Fashioned Oats put in a food processor and processed into semi-fine flour in the food processor
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Set aside in a bowl while mixing the next set of ingredients.
- In a heavy-duty electric mixing bowl, add to the bowl:
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 stick or a half cup of butter (do not use margarine)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Creme Filling for cookies:
- 6 to 7 tablespoons of heavy cream add more if this gets too thick and won't spread easily
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
- 1 1/3 cups of powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons of butter (don't use margarine)
- Mix till light and fluffy, depending on the weather, this can dry out, and need to add drops of cream to moisten.
Instructions
- Cream these ingredients together till light and fluffy, add all dry ingredients next and mix together working all together evenly.
- Wrap mixture in wax paper and put in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Remove from fridge, roll into small rounded balls, two fingers full, then slightly flattened with two fingers, the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand, no more than 1/4 inch high. (If using one sheet at a time, place the dough back in the refrigerator until you are ready for the next batch.)
- Place on oil sprayed greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees until cookies are light brown, around 8 to 10 minutes, if you like them, hard cook, longer, 8 minutes is crunchy but still a little chewy, 10 minutes completely crunchy.
- Cool for a minute on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
- Make filling next.
- Fill cookie, and add another cookie on top to make the sandwich.
- I used a cheese spreader to spread the filling on. Double the filling of this recipe. This recipe below will give you a thin creme for 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
- Note: For peanut butter and jelly style cookies just spread a layer of jam on the peanut butter layer.
- Note:
- I have had test testers, some think these taste like G.S. Do-Si-Dos, some think Nutter Butters. So if you're a fan of any of these enjoy!
