Dark & Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies

Time: 35 minutes
Yield: About 12 cookie sandwiches

What You’ll Need:

For the peanut butter cookies:

1 egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the dark chocolate peanut butter filling:

2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup chocolate peanut butter, such as Peanut Butter & Co.
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)

What to do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

To make the cookies: Using a mixer, cream the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Fold dry mixture into wet mixture until it just comes together.

Using a 1 oz. scoop, drop cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping them spaced a few inches apart to allow for spreading. Use two baking sheets if necessary. Bake for 15 minutes, alternating in oven halfway if using multiple sheets. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.

To make the filling and finish: While the cookies cool, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and milk in a bowl. Add the chocolate peanut butter and salt and mix until smooth.

Once the cookies have cooled, spread a few teaspoons of filling on the flat side of half. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

If you like, coat a third of of each cookie sandwich in any remaining filling and roll in the chopped peanuts.

Link in bio to shop ingredients

What you'll need:
1 - 8 ounce Norwegian salmon fillet, skinned, deboned and divided into two 4 ounce fillets
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

What you'll do:
1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium high heat, add honey, sambal and chilies. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and set aside. The longer the honey sits the more flavor the chilies release.

3. Add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add salmon to the pan, presentation side down.
4. Cook the salmon for four minutes; flip and cook for another three minutes. Top salmon with glaze while in pan, to coat each filet.
5. Transfer to serving plates, top with more chili sauce, serve with brussels sprouts or your favorite vegetable, if desired.
