• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1-1/2 cups flour
• COOKIES:
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• FILLING:
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons milk

Directions

• Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Place butter, sugar, and peanut butter in the bowl of a large stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy, then beat in eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to liquid mixture, and beat on medium speed until a cookie dough forms.
• Roll dough into 1-in balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on cookie balls, flattening slightly. Bake cookies at 350F 10-11 minutes, or until edges of cookies are golden. (middles will still seem a little soft---this is ok) Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Place butter, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in milk until filling reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Divide filling between half of cookies, placing 1-2 tablespoons on the bottom of each. Top with remaining cookies and gently press to spread filling, creating a sandwich. Enjoy sandwiches immediately or place in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.
