Nutter Butter Cookies
Experience the joy of making your own delicious homemade nutter butter cookies. These treats boast a soft, lightly crumbly texture complemented by a creamy peanut butter filling, shaped into adorable peanut shells. While I usually reserve my cookie purchases for classics like Oreos and Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, a recent snack session with my mother sparked the idea to recreate them at home.

SHAPING THE COOKIES
Initially, I considered using a cookie cutter, fearing that it would be a waste of time. However, my mother suggested pinching them in the middle. A few days later, I decided to give it a try. Upon researching homemade Nutter Butters, I found several posts where people used the pinch method. So, I chose to adapt my mother’s favorite peanut butter cookie recipe by pinching the dough in the middle to make the nutter butter.

Store your cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Q: What kind of cookie is a Nutter Butter?
Nutter Butter is a crispy peanut butter sandwich cookie with a layer of peanut butter in the middle.
