Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, gently stir together 1 cup of natural peanut butter, the coconut sugar, and the egg until smooth.
Pour in the vanilla extract, rolled oats, 1/2 cup of oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Using a half-tablespoon measure, scoop the dough and roll into small balls.
Place the balls on a baking sheet and gently press down with your fingers or a fork.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the filling by mixing the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of oat flour in a small bowl.
Spread a spoonful of filling onto the bottom of one cooled cookie and press another on top to create a sandwich.

Notes

To ensure the best texture for your sandwich cookies, make sure your natural peanut butter is well-stirred before measuring to incorporate any separated oils. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, you can substitute chunky peanut butter for the filling to add extra texture.
