Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies/The Best Cookies in the Universe
Ingredients
Instructions 1) Preheat oven to 350F. 2) Start with the cookies. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 3) In a large bowl, cream together butter and peanut butter. 4) Beat in the sugars until fluffy. 5) Add in the eggs one at a time, waiting until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. 6) Stir in vanilla extract. 7) Working at a low speed, mix in the flour, followed by the oats (if you don’t have quick-cooking, pulse whole rolled oats in the food processor to chop them up a bit). 8) On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop 1/2-1 teaspoonfuls of batter, leaving about 2 inches between each to allow for spread. 9) Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until cookies are a light golden brown. 10) Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. If you want them to look like Do-Si-Dos, make small holes in 1/2 of the cookies (for the tops of the sandwiches) before they set up. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 11) Once cookies have cooled, make the filling. 12) In a large bowl, cream together smooth peanut butter, butter and confectioners’ sugar until very smooth. 13) Pipe (with piping bag and a large round tip or a corner cut out of a ziploc bag) 2-3 tsp onto half of the finished cookies and sandwich with the remaining halves. If you chose to make yours with GS-lookalike holes in some of the cookies, use these as the tops of the sandwiches. 14) Store in an airtight container. 15) Story: Sean and Annie made these as gifts for friends and family ... they could possibly be the best cookies in the universe.
