Instructions

In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter and white sugar until fluffy, then stir in the chunky peanut butter, room-temperature egg, vanilla, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and rolled oats to ensure even distribution.
Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, cut into 1-inch rounds, and freeze on a tray for 10 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 10 to 13 minutes until golden brown, then let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack to ensure maximum crunch.
Prepare the filling by mixing smooth peanut butter with powdered sugar, then sandwich a teaspoon of the mixture between two cooled cookies.

Notes

To ensure your cookies have the perfect crunch, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before adding the filling, as any residual warmth will soften the peanut butter center. If the dough feels too sticky to roll easily, a brief 15-minute rest in the refrigerator can help it firm up.
