A perfectly textured addicting cookie with the most delicious peanut butter creamy filling you’ll ever taste!

I recently saw a headline on Facebook that read, “Baking is the Best Way to Alleviate Stress.” I couldn’t agree more! I love, love, LOVE to bake! But my favorite kind of baking is for someone else.

There is some sort of magical stress relief that happens when I bake. When I garden, too. It would take endless lifetimes to get through all of the recipes I want to try! I always start with what I think someone in my life would enjoy. When I made these for the first time, I had my husband in mind. He loves peanut butter. When he paused and stopped chewing the first time he tried these, I knew I hit his sweet spot! He looked up from his bite and gave me ‘the look.’ That means these are delicious and he absolutely loves them! I think you will, too.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cream Filling for Homemade Oreo Cookies

Using a hand mixer, cream together 2 tbsp softened butter and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter.
Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tbsp milk and continue to mix until well combined.

Tips for Making Homemade Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies

Let the cookies completely cool before assembling the Oreos.
After they have cooled, match up the cookies according to size. Lay them on a parchment paper lined pan, paired together.
Once you make the Peanut Butter Cream Filling, transfer into a Ziplock bag. Cut the bottom corner of the bag wide enough to allow a thick stream of filling to come out. Place a large dollop of cream on one half of the cookie. Lightly press the other matching cookie half on top of the cream until the cream just about reaches the edge of the cookies.
