Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Copycat Nutter Butters
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth—about 3 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place on baking sheets, flatten slightly, and sprinkle granulated sugar on top.
  3. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. Prepare the filling by beating together the peanut butter and butter until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Add milk if necessary for desired consistency.
  5. Spread filling on one side of a cookie and top with another cookie. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
