I love a good Girl Scout Cookie in my house. The nostalgia and sweetness they bring are hard to resist. My husband’s absolute favorite is the Do-Si-Dos. Since they’re not available year-round, I decided to whip up a delicious copycat version at home. This way, we can enjoy them anytime we crave them.

Ingredients
 

Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter , room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick oats , (I use Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Peanut Butter Buttercream Filling:

  • 1/2 stick butter , room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone silpat mat.
  • In a stand mixer cream together the 1 ½ sticks butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  • When fluffy and lightened add in the peanut butter and cream until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
  • Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thick.
  • Using a two inch cookie cutter (I used a drinking glass I dipped into flour), cut out the cookies.
  • Place onto a baking mat an inch apart and chill the dough on the sheets for 15-20 minutes before baking.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool completely while you make the peanut butter filling.
  • Add the butter, powdered sugar and milk together in a stand mixer and mix on low speed at first moving up to medium-high speed until fully combined and fluffy.
  • Add in the ½ cup peanut butter and combine until smooth and fluffy and creamy.
  • Using a piping bag or a spoon put about a tablespoon between two cookies to make the sandwiches.

Sabrina’s Tips

To achieve the perfect cookie consistency, using quick oats is important, as they help prevent tough cookies and result in a softer, chewier bite. Also, be mindful not to over mix the dough either, as this can lead to dense cookies that lack the light, airy quality we all desire.

About this Recipe

As delicious as packaged Girl Scout Do-si-dos are, nothing compares to a freshly baked cookie. Plus, there’s something special about enjoying your favorite Girl Scout cookie any time of the year. In this recipe, I opted for crunchy peanut butter to add texture and an extra crunch, but you can easily substitute creamy peanut butter for a more authentic cookie.

How to Store

  • Serve: These cookies are good at room temperature for about a week. Keep them in a container for easy serving. 
  • Store: You can store your cookies in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Raw dough will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge. Keep them in an airtight container to ensure they stay fresh and crisp.
  • Freeze: You can freeze your baked cookies or raw dough for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
