Homemade Nutter Butters

WARNING:  These cookies contain oats.  That is usually a deal-breaker for me (it’s a texture thing), but despite the oats, these. were. delicious.  But you may want to just pretend you didn’t see the ingredient list.  Or, become a master of denial and concentrate on how healthy oats are.  Either way, so yummy.  As far as homemade cookies go, these were easy to make and certainly made a big enough batch for a crowd.  Here’s how they came together:JBD_7474

First I creamed butter and peanut butter together, and then added white and brown sugars. JBD_7479

I used my medium scoop to create equal portions of cookie dough.  These baked for about 11 minutes at 350.JBD_7491 JBD_7494 JBD_7499

While the cookies cooled, I made the “stuffing” with butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.  I used my small scoop to divide the stuffing between the cookies.JBD_7502 JBD_7507

Next time, I’ll use my smallest scoop for the cookies since I think that would make a much better size portion, especially when sandwiched together with a second cookie.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t make any changes.  I’ll even keep the oats (now that I have some in my pantry, I’ll need something to do with them anyway).  I’m going to tuck this recipe away for a future pot-luck opportunity – it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
