This Copycat Do-Si-Dos Recipe is my take on the popular Peanut Butter Sandwich Girl Scout cookie. The homemade version leaves the cookies slightly softer and the filling WAY more creamy!

Copycat Do-Si-Dos Recipe (1)

Oh yes, Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us. I am sure you have some boxes right now in your pantry! We honestly love them all…except maybe the Trefoils. Do people really buy those?

Anyhow, I decided to make a version of one of our favorites, the Do-Si-Dos, at home. And the results are OUTSTANDING!

Do-Si-Dos are 2 oatmeal peanut butter cookies with a layer of peanut butter cream squished in between. One thing I don’t love about the Do-Si-Dos is that they are super crunchy. I prefer a softer cookie with (shocker) a larger dose of creamy filling.

I feel like we may be on the same page on this one. AmIright?

ps – if you like the crunchy cookie better just bake this recipe 2-3 minutes longer and voila!

To achieve the authentic look of the Do-Si-Do I used a meat mallet to make the indentations in the top of the cookie as soon as they came out of the oven! Just press gently! If you don’t have a meat mallet you can leave them plain (totally fine) or criss-cross fork impressions, like a regular peanut butter cookie.

The filling is a creamy, buttery peanut butter frosting that is silky smooth! Add as much or as little as you like!

More is better.

      Thanks for another delicious recipe! I made these last week for my Granddaughter and they were fantastic! Since she loves Nutella I substituted the Peanut Butter with Nutella. I also made them half the size, as one cookie is very filling. I baked them the extra 2 minutes because we like our cookies crunchy. Everyone wants to know when I’ll make them again!
