Ingredients

1cupcreamy peanut butter

⅔cupmaple syrup

1cupall purpose flour

½cupcreamy peanut butter

2tbspunsalted butter,softened

1cuppowdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour with an electric hand mixer until smooth.

Roll the dough into ½-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, placing 2 balls side-by-side for each cookie. Use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies to create peanut shapes.

Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until edges are starting to turn golden brown. Let cool completely.

Meanwhile, whip the peanut butter and butter with an electric hand mixer until combined. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add a bit of water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.

Spread a little bit of the frosting on the underside of 1 of the cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.

Enjoy!
