Ingredients

1¾ cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

½ cup plus ⅓ cup powdered sugar

½ cup plus 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup vegetable oil

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg

1⅓ cups (about 8 ounces) milk chocolate chips

Filling

3 ounces high-quality milk chocolate, chopped

¼ cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

6 tablespoons whipping cream

Directions

For cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat powdered sugar, dark brown sugar, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixture until well blended.

Add peanut butter; beat until creamy.

Gradually beat in vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then egg.

Add dry ingredients; mix just until blended. Don't overmix.

Stir in milk chocolate chips.

Drop cookie dough by level tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 1½ inches apart. (I use a baking sheet covered by a Silpat -- makes cleanup almost instantaneous)

Bake cookies until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Cool slightly, then transfer cookies to rack to cool completely.

For filling:

Place chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and kosher salt in medium bowl.

Bring whipping cream to boil in heavy small saucepan.

Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Don't leave any lumps. You may have to hold the bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water to melt the few remaining lumps, if the boiling cream doesn't do the job.

Chill until filling is thick and spreadable, 30 minutes to one hour.

Spread about 1 rounded teaspoonful chocolate-peanut butter filling on flat side of 1 cookie.

Top with second cookie, forming a sandwich.

Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.

Note: These cookie sandwiches can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Since I have a peanut allergy, I can't really taste these cookies to see if they came out all right -- I have to rely on other people. Recently, I came across something called Soy Nut Butter in my local Whole Foods. This stuff purports to taste exactly like peanut butter. I plan to test it out on my next batch. Has anyone else tried this variation?

These look very tasty, you can't beat the peanut butter chocolate combo. I will definitely be trying this recipe.

They look stunning - a perfect combination. PITY you can't try them. I'd imagine that a peanut allergy must be hard to live. There's so many products with concealed peanut in it?
