These Mini Peanut Butter & Chocolate Buttercream Cookie Sandwiches are such delightful little treats! If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you’ll be making these all the time!
The Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s no secret that I LOVE chocolate and peanut butter together, you see it on Picky Palate all the time, right? I had to laugh at these photos because my cookie sandwiches look like little hamburgers. Hamburgers or not, these mini cookie sandwiches are downright delicious and I am thrilled to share them with you today 🙂
I was fighting against the sun setting otherwise I think I would have put sprinkles around the edges, so they don’t look so burger like, lol! Next time!
How to Make These Mini Cookies
I whipped up a simple peanut butter cookie dough here. Start by creaming your butter and sugars.
Add a pretty little egg.
Some peanut buttah and vanilla 🙂
Add your dry ingredients and voila’ ready to bake!
I used my smallest cookie scoop to form my dough.
Bake em’ and let these babies cool.
How to Make Chocolate Buttercream
While the cookies are cooling, let’s prepare the buttercream, shall we?
Butter and powdered sugar ready.
Whisk, whisk, whisk.
Add some fabulous melted chocolate.
Maybe dip your finger in….then whisk that together.
Add a touch more powdered sugar to thicken.
Like so 🙂
There you have a rich chocolatey buttercream.
You know what to do. Pile it on top of those cooled cookies and sandwich together!
Mmmm, little hamburgers 🙂 Just kidding. Enjoy!!

Great post, thanks for this! By the way, I once used Textuarants when I was making something similar to this and it worked awesome!
Oh boy! This sounds fun and awesome! Love it!
My God I’m speechless!!!! they look amazing!!!! Your pictures are fantastic!!!!
Chocolate and peanut butter….is there a BETTER combination? I don’t think so.
I really like how you didn’t do the typical chocolate cookie and peanut butter center. The flipped cookie makes it so much more fun!
These look SO amazing and ohh how I’m in love with your hot pink Kitchen-aid mixer!!! xoxo
LOVE your site!!
what kind of camera do you use?
i have to make these cookie sandwiches, they look delicious.
They look delicious even if they do look a lil like hamburgers. Lol!
The perfect sandwich cookie!
Jenny, these are adorable! I love mini cookie sandwiches. Give me an excuse to eat more than one! And chocolate + PB is godsent…. hands down, my favorite flavor combo. love these Jenny!
As always your creations look so tasty! Burgers or not, I would eat one… Or ten 😀
oh my these look great! nothing is better than pb and chocolate.
Maybe you should play up the hamburger-like appearance and use these as trompe l’oiel desserts! Add some sesame seeds on top, some yellow and red frosting inside… 😉
Haha, that’d be perfect 🙂
The thought of these is making me drool. Peanut butter and chocolate together is always a winner. Yay, you came up with another winner!
Keep writing…
Thank you Kathleen!
I bet the baby loves these! 🙂 Such cutie patootie cookies, too, hamburger posers or not!
Love PB & Chocolate! I think since they’re mini cookies, you can have a few at a time and the calories won’t count, right? Sounds good to me anyway.
That’s right Robin 🙂 Love that theory!
I definitely think that peanut butter and chocolate are the best combo out there! These are adorable 🙂
Thanks Ashley 🙂
I could use a few of these cute little cookies right about now! They look so good!
Not only do the cookies look amazing, but your nails look fab as well! What color are you wearing?
Thanks Amy. The color is Cajun Shrimp Gel from OPI
Pretty sure that peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best combinations ever!!
I agree with you Jessica!!
YUM! I’m also a pb + chocolate lover!! Can’t ever have too much!
too funny, i thought they were little mini burgers too til i saw the title! chocolate and peanut butter is only the best combo ever…i have it in my oatmeal every single morning!
You can immediately tell what an amazing experience it will be to bite into those cookies! Yum!
Yum YUMM!! I would gladly take this over a mini hamburger. My kinda sliders! 😉
I think a sandwich cookie is next on my list of things to bake, and this one is obviously calling to me. Classic eanut butter cookies with chocolate frosting? Happiness.
Cute! Who cares if they look like hamburgers 🙂
My favorite flavors | PB + Chocolate!! Great cookies girl. Welcome home!

Adorable! But oh my word — those look a LITTLE too irresistible. 🙂
Just a perfect cookie. I can’t say anymore!
These look awesome, I am so making them ths weekend!! Could you please take a pic and show us your small cookie scoop against a coin or something so we can have an idea how small it is? Or is there a number measure on it? Thanks a bunch!!
Chocolate & peanut butter are the best thing since sliced bread 🙂 So cute!
I love any kind of cookie sandwich, and these look amazing! Chocolate buttercream smooshed between two peanut butter cookies? Genius!
Awww, sooo cute! 🙂 I’d add some finely chopped peanuts to the side..or maybe chocolate jimmies?! Mmm, not that they’d need anything else- I bet they’re deeee-lish!
These look fantastic – not at all like hamburgers (ok, maybe just a little!) That melted chocolate makes me feel very INSPIRED to try these!
YUM! 🙂
Oh my gosh those little peanut butter sandwiches look adorable and delicious at the same time! I’m totally with you – I love PB + Chocolate. I love just about any nuts and chocolate, they make such a great combination. And that chocolate buttercream …. I could seriously just eat that by itself 🙂 Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Jenny, you’re so creative! And I love PB + chocolate!
And I don’t know how you do as much baking & dishes as you do and your nails are PERFECT!!
