Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperate
- 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 2 cups Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream or milk
- Rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Directions
Peanut Butter Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and peanut butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Add flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until dough just comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for one hour.
- Using a scoop, place dough on prepared sheets, about an inch apart. Dip a fork in sugar and press a crosshatch pattern on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling:
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping as needed.
- Add half of powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Add remaining powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla. Beat for 5 minutes, until very light and fluffy. Add cream and beat an additional minute.
- To assemble, add buttercream to a piping bag. Pipe onto underside of a cookie and top with an additional cookie. Or use a knife to spread the frosting. If desired roll edges in sprinkles.
