How to Make It

1. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a nonstick pan).
2. Step
Make the cookies: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
3. Step
Roll the dough into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, placing 2 balls side-by-side for each cookie. Use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies to create peanut shapes.
4. Step
Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until edges are starting to turn golden brown. Let cool completely.
5. Step
Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a large bowl, whip the peanut butter and butter with an electric hand mixer until combined. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add a bit of water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
6. Step
Spread a little bit of the frosting on the underside of 1 of the cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.
7. Step
Enjoy!
