Copycat Nutter Butters
These Copycat Nutter Butters are one of the easiest yet most flavorful cookies to make at home. They’re defined by cookies made with all-purpose, brown sugar, vanilla, butter and egg, and creamy filling of peanut butter, butter, powder sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. They’re tasty breakfast and snack. My kids even love bringing to game day celebrations at school.
