Homemade Nutter Butter Cookies

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A copycat version of the classic Nutter Butter sandwich cookie, made from scratch with a buttery peanut‑butter dough, a soft peanut‑butter‑halva filling, and a hand‑carved wooden stamp for authentic detail. The recipe follows Claire Saffitz’s recreation process, including the craft of making a cookie stamp, low‑temperature baking for crisp edges, and piping the filling into a peanut shape.

Critical Success Points

  • Carving and sanding the wooden stamp to achieve clean detail
  • Pressing the dough into the stamp while the dough is chilled to retain shape
  • Baking at low temperature (300°F) to prevent spread and preserve the imprint
  • Heating the sugar‑corn‑syrup mixture to exactly 248°F to achieve the right halva texture
  • Piping the filling before it hardens

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot sugar syrup with care – it reaches 248°F and can cause severe burns
  • Use caution when carving wood – keep fingers away from sharp tools
  • Do not over‑bake; cookies can become too hard and break easily
