Ingredients

Cookies:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1 cup lightly packed brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling dough

2 large eggs

Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting:

3/4 cup (6 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup raspberry jam

Pinch of kosher salt

2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
In the bowl of stand mixer, cream together the butter and chunky and smooth peanut butters. Add the brown and granulated sugars and beat for 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Put some granulated sugar in a bowl. Scoop 1/4-cup balls of dough into the bowl, roll the dough in the sugar and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, pressing each cookie flat with a fork. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely before filling with frosting.
For the raspberry cream cheese frosting: Cream together the cream cheese, butter, jam and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add the powdered sugar and beat until soft and creamy.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of frosting on one side of a cookie and sandwich together with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
