How to Make Inside Out Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup holiday sprinkles; set aside.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg.
  6. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of the prepared holiday sprinkles.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Gently press down on each cookie with a fork.
  10. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. While cookies cool, prepare the frosting:
  13. In a small bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups prepared vanilla frosting and ¼ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter until smooth.
  14. Once cookies are completely cool, spread peanut butter frosting on the bottom of one cookie.
  15. Top with another cookie, frosting-side down, to create a sandwich.
  16. Gently press down.
  17. Frost the top of each sandwich and sprinkle with a few remaining holiday sprinkles.
  18. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.
