Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) + 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature and divided
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 batch raspberry jelly buttercream (recipe below)

Raspberry Jelly Buttercream

  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 Tbsp raspberry jelly/jam

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt 4 Tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the oats. Cook oats in butter for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until the oats are browned and toasted. Pour oats onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool a bit.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together remaining stick of butter and both kinds of sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter and beat together until well combined.
  • Slowly add in the flour mixture until just combined, taking care not to over-mix. Fold in the oats and peanut butter chips.
  • Place dough on a large sheet of parchment paper and place another large sheet of parchment paper on top. Roll the dough out until it’s about ¼-inch thick. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place dough on counter and remove top layer of parchment paper. Cut 24 circles out of the dough with a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter (or the top of a drinking glass).
  • Place rounds about one inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cookies are just starting to turn golden.
  • Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Put raspberry jelly buttercream in a pastry bag or in a ziplock bag with the corner cut off and squeeze buttercream in a circular motion on 12 of the cookies. Top each cookie with a second bare cookie to make sandwiches.
