5-INGREDIENT COPYCAT NUTTER BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a nonstick pan).
• Make the cookies: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and flour with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
• 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.
• Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until edges are starting to turn golden brown. Let cool completely.
• 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.
• 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.
• Enjoy!

ACORN TREATS

Steps:

• Reserve 48 chocolate chips. In a microwave, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread the flat side of each kiss with a small amount of melted chocolate; immediately attach each to a cookie., Secure one reserved chocolate chip as a stem onto each acorn. Place on waxed or parchment-lined baking sheets; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

NUTTER BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and the sugar with an electric mixer.
• Add the egg, salt and peanut butter and beat until well blended.
• Put the oats in a blender or a food processor and grind away until they are almost as finely ground as flour.
• Add the oats and the flour to the mixture and blend well.
• Pinch out small portions of the dough and roll into 1 inch balls in the palm of your hand.
• Press these flat on an ungreased cookie sheet so that they form 2 inch circles.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown around the edges.
• While the cookies are baking, combine the filling ingredients in a small bowl.
• When the cookies have cooled down, use a butter knife to spread a thin layer of filling on the flat side of a cookie and then press another one on top.
• Repeat till all the cookies and the filling are use up.

NUTTER BUTTER ACORNS

Steps:

• Unwrap the Kisses and set aside. Arrange all the ingredients on a piece of parchment paper or directly on the counter top.
• Melt 1/4 cup peanut butter chips in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Stir the chips and microwave for 10-30 more seconds -- don't over cook. When assembling the acorns, I set the bowl of melted peanut butter chips in a larger bowl of very hot/boiling water so the chips stay melted.
• Assemble the acorns: Put a small dab of melted peanut butter on one side of a Nutter Butter Bite. Immediately "glue" a Kiss to the Nutter Butter Bite. Set aside, and continue gluing the rest of the Kisses. After a minute or two they will harden enough to add the acorn tops.
• Add the acorn tops: Put a tiny dab of melted peanut butter on the top of the acorn and top with a chocolate or peanut butter chip. Set aside to harden.

ACORN CANDY COOKIES

Steps:

• Smear a small amount of frosting onto the flat bottom of a candy kiss. Press onto the flat bottom of the vanilla wafer. Smear a little more frosting onto the flat bottom of a butterscotch chip, and press onto the rounded top of the cookie. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Set aside to dry, about 30 minutes.

NUTTY BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oats, and cook, stirring, until toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Spread oat mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet; let cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Beat together remaining stick butter and the sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add egg, and beat until combined. Add nut butter, and beat on medium speed until well combined.
• Add oat mixture and chopped nuts, and beat on low speed until combined. Add flour mixture, and beat until combined.
• Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place cookies 1 inch apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets.
