Instructions
Peanut Butter Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter and beat until well-mixed.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low speed until combined.
Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to make dough balls. Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten each dough ball. Press the Mickey head into each flattened cookie.
Place cookies in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Peanut Butter Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and spreadable.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag.
Jelly Filling
Transfer ¼ cup of your favorite jelly into a piping bag.
Assembly
Pipe the peanut butter filling onto the backs of half of the cookies. Use an offset spatula to flatten and spread the filling as needed.
Pipe the jelly filling onto the backs of the other half of the cookies. Use an offset spatula to flatten and spread the jelly as needed.
Gently press the cookies with jelly and the cookies with peanut butter together to make a sandwich.
