Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy, preferably natural peanut butter
Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Using a food processor, whiz together the butter and sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add in the dry ingredients and process just until a dough forms. Empty dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and form a cookie dough log. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
  3. When the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the log into as-thin-as-possible cookies. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until done. Cool on a wire rack.
  4. Make the buttercream by beating the butter and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer.
  5. Once cool, pair each cookie with its ideal match so the sizes are as even as possible. From each pair, spread one cookie with buttercream and the other with peanut butter; gently sandwich together. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  6. If you have any leftover — refrigerate.
