These easy homemade Do-Si-Dos (aka peanut butter sandwich cookies) are made with simple ingredients and natural sugars.

As much as I love buying cookies from cute little Girl Scouts and making their day, I have to say, I’ve been preferring my homemade versions! Eek sorry girls!

But seriously, all of my homemade versions are just sooo good. Here’s my recreation line up thus far: samoas, thin mints and tagalongs.

Stack of three homemade do-si-do cookies.

I am fully prepared for this recipe to break the internet… or at least go viral with YOU! You love my homemade Girl Scout cookies and I fully understand why.

They’re so simple to make, made with whole food ingredients and beyond delicious!

Mixing bowl with egg, peanut butter, oats, coconut sugar and oat flour.

Ingredients in Homemade Do-Si-Dos

  • peanut butter – use natural peanut butter with just one or two ingredients (peanuts and salt).
  • coconut sugar – I like using natural coconut sugar for these cookies, but if needed you can swap with regular sugar.
  • egg – I haven’t tested this recipe without the egg, but I assume it would work with a flaxseed egg.
  • vanilla extract
  • rolled oats
  • oat flour – feel free to make your own or use store-bought.
  • baking soda
  • sea salt
  • peanut butter filling – for this, you just need more peanut butter, maple syrup and a tiny bit of oat flour.

How to Make Do-Si-Dos

Mix: In a large bowl stir together peanut butter, coconut sugar and egg. Add vanilla, oats, oat flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.

Mixing bowl with do-si-do cookie dough.

Scoop cookie dough: Using a 1/2 tablespoon, scoop cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place on an un-greased baking sheet and gently press each cookie down a tiny bit. Bake at 375ºF for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned.

Let cool: Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Make filling: While cookies are baking, make the peanut butter filling by stirring together peanut butter, maple syrup and oat flour. 

Make sandwich cookies: Once cookies are cool start making the sandwiches. Spread a little of the peanut butter filling on the bottom of one cookie and then gently press the bottom of another cookie on top. Repeat until all cookies are sandwiched. If you happen to have an odd number of cookies, that just means that you can eat one while making these. 🙂

How to Store Homemade Do-Si-Dos

Store: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temp for 3-4 days, in the fridge for 5-7 days or the freezer for 3 months. Cookies are best served right away if you like crisp cookies. They will soften as they age.

Notes

  • Peanut butter: If you have a peanut allergy or don’t have it on hand you can use any nut or seed butter of choice.
  • Coconut sugar: I like using natural coconut sugar for these cookies, but if needed you can swap with regular sugar.
  • Egg: I haven’t tested this recipe without the egg, but I assume it would work with a flaxseed egg.
  • Oat flour: I haven’t tested this recipe with a different flour, so I’m not sure how these cookies would turn out with a substitution. 
  • Maple syrup: You can use any liquid sweetener of choice (i.e. honey, agave, monk fruit maple syrup etc.).

    Reminds me of girl scout cookies only homemade. Now I can pass that comfort off to my kids. Can’t wait to make another batch

    1. Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you loved these, Jennifer. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!

  3. 5 stars
    Amazing!!! Even better than the original. Glad I can get my Girl Scout cookie fix, while still eating healthy!

    1. Yay!! So glad you loved these, Cheryl. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!

  4. 5 stars
    These were really tasty. Not too sweet. They turned out bigger than I expected and the recipe ended up yielding 6 sandwiches. Next time I’ll use a smaller scoop. The filling is yummy.

    1. Sounds like your cookies were bigger than the ones I made. I yielded 13 cookies, but I’m so glad you enjoyed these!! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review, Deanna. I so appreciate it. 🙂

    1. Yay!! So glad you love these, Jody. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!

    Just made these, I feel like a pinch of milk or water would have made them less heavy and easier to swallow
    good recipe tho, tasty and VERY filling!
    For less calories, next time I will try using chia instead of eggs and a different sweetener

    1. Hi Vika! Thank you so much for the review and feedback. Are you thinking that the water or milk should have been added to the cookie or the peanut butter filling? Just curious!

  6. 5 stars
    I made these with a mixture of erythritol, stevia & xylitol and I think that made them turn out a little softer. Still very good and actually have the same texture as the Girl Scout version! Good recipe, will make again!

    1. Good to know, Shanda! Thanks for coming back to share that as I’m sure it’ll be helpful for other readers. I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies though, thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!

  7. 5 stars
    Love these cookies! Do-so-dos are my favorite Girl Scout cookie and these hit the spot. Adding the maple syrup and oat flour into the peanut butter really gives it a great consistency for the filling!

    1. Ahh yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Alyssa. So glad these were a hit! Thanks for the review, I appreciate it!

  8. 5 stars
    One word – AMAZING! As a former Daisy, Brownie and Girl Scout, we tried all of Brittany’s Girl Scout cookies and these are our absolute favorite. Literally better (and much healthier) than the real thing. We ate them all in one day (oops) and made them again the following day with almond butter instead. We use flax eggs and they come out wonderfully!

    1. Oh my goodness, I love this! Thank you for the comment and star rating. I’m so happy you and your family enjoyed them. And thanks for letting me know that the flaxseed worked as well. That’s awesome to know.

    2. Ahh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear. So glad you loved these cookies, Deanna!! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it. 🙂

  9. 5 stars
    Just made these for the Eating Bird Food Recipe Club! SUPER easy and they taste JUST as good (if not better) than the original Girl Scout Cookie themselves!

    1. Ahh yay!! So glad you loved these cookies, Suzy!! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it. 🙂

    First, this recipe was awesome not only because the ingredients were all so simple and clean, but I already had everything on hand!! I think I made these waaay too big but they still had an amazing taste AND texture, and were not too sweet at all. I love peanut butter and I had never made Girl Scout cookies before and these were pretty dang delicious. They definitely came in to save the day when we didn’t have the opportunity to see any Girl Scouts in person this year!

    1. So glad you loved these cookies, Alyssa!! Thanks for making them and for the review. I so appreciate it!

  11. 4 stars
    These were easy to make and we enjoyed them! I ran out of peanut butter so I used cashew butter in the filling. I didn’t use flour in the filling and thought it was an easily spreadable consistency. Also, I used all purpose flour in the cookies and thought they tasted and looked good. Thanks for another (healthier) treat!

    1. Yay! So glad you loved these, Nicole! Thanks for sharing the subs you made and for the review, I so appreciate it.

  12. 5 stars
    If I could give these more than 5 stars I would.. I thought the 4 ingredient Samoas would be hard to beat but these are at least tied. They taste exactly like a real Girl Scout cookie, and were surprisingly easy to make. My only complaint is that the recipe didn’t make more! I will make them smaller next time, because They are quite filling, and mine came out fairly big (I didn’t expect them to spread in the oven!) I already can’t wait to make these again!

    1. Ahh yay, that makes me so happy to hear!! I’m so glad you loved these cookies, Kara!! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it.

  13. 5 stars
    This recipe was super easy to make and soo delicious! The peanut butter cookies were so soft, moist and flavorful! I have loved all of eating bird food’s Girl Scout cookies.

    1. Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear. Thanks for making these and for coming back to leave a review, Allison. I so appreciate it!

  14. 5 stars
    LOVE these cookies! The perfect amount of peanut butter flavor. And the cookies are the perfect soft-baked texture. Will be making them again very soon!

    1. Woo! So glad you loved these, Shauna. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!

    Just had to leave ANOTHER 5-star review of these. I made a new batch last night, which I doubled because my husband loves them so much and they go fast! I used turbinado sugar as a sub for the coconut sugar, which I couldn’t find at the store, and they were just perfect!!! Love all your recipes!

    1. So glad you loved these cookies, Jody!! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!

  16. 5 stars
    Ok, these are literally now my favorite cookie. Absolute perfection and super easy to make. They are a huge family hit!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. My recommendation, double batch this one, you’re going to need it! Lol ❤️😋
    I substituted the egg with an egg replacement from Bob’s Red Mill to make them vegan. 🌱 Delicious!

    1. So glad you loved these, Jodie!! And good to know they turned out with the egg replacement. Thanks for coming back to share and leave a review. I so appreciate it!

  17. 5 stars
    OMG these are devine! I could have eaten the whole batch in one go! So quick and easy to make too.

  18. 5 stars
    These are INCREDIBLE. I swapped almond flour for oat flour (all I had laying around) and they turned out great!!

    I made my cookies about 1/2 Tbs, but only got about 8 full sandwiches out of my batch. They were chunky little guys. And while delicious, I’d recommend cutting to a 1 tsp per cookie to make them more bite sized.

    1. Oh yay!! So glad they turned out with oat flour – good to know! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Carly. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!

  19. 5 stars
    I made all your girl scout cookies and they are all amazing!! This one is my fave not exactly like the original because they are much softer but WAAAAAY better!!

    1. Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear!! So glad you loved these cookies. Thanks for the review, Naleena. I so appreciate it!

  20. 5 stars
    Yum, pb cookies! 😍 so good. Quick and easy recipe. We tried to double the recipe but instead, ended up making XXL cookies 😂 but that’s ok bc these are delicious!

    1. Haha you can’t go wrong with bigger do-si-dos!! So glad you loved these! Thanks for the review, Sarah. I so appreciate it!

  21. 5 stars
    Made these this weekend…subbed honey for the maple syrup. They were SO good!!! My only complaint is that the recipe doesn’t make more so be sure to double it! 😁

    1. I know! Doubling it always a must with the homemade Girl Scout cookies!! So glad you loved these! Thanks for making them and for the review, Michele. I so appreciate it!

  23. So I may have ate like 5 cookies while making this recipe. I am a sucker for anything peanut butter and these are way too good not to eat a couple! Such an easy recipe to follow aslo.

    So excited about this year’s newly shared Girl Scout cookie copycat recipe! We were so excited to try these Do-Si-Dos this past week for the EBF Recipe Club and to complete our annual tradition of making all of EBF’s Girl Scout cookie recipes each March. Thank you for creating another fun and yummy copycat cookie recipe to add to the lineup!

    1. Ahh this makes me so happy to hear!! I’m pumped to hear you loved this recipe. Thanks for making it and for the review. I so appreciate it, Angela. 🙂

  25. 4 stars
    I baked the cookies about 8 1/2 minutes but they got a little too brown. I know my ovens a little strong at times so I should’ve checked them earlier but otherwise these were good!

    1. Oh no!! I’m glad these still turned out for you. Thanks for making them and for the review. I so appreciate it!

  26. 5 stars
    These were the last of the four Girl Scout cookies to make and they also did not disappoint! Soooo yummy! The peanut butter creaminess in the middle is just heaven! Definitely better than the originals. All 4 recipes- 5 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much!!☺️

    1. Ahh yay!! So glad you loved all the Girl Scout cookies!! I so appreciate you trying them all and coming back to leave a review, Amber. <3

    I definitely needed wet hands to form the dough & push them down a bit (sticky!). They’re SO good I doubled the recipe & they’re still gone. 😂

    1. Hi Candida – Are you wondering about the oat flour? If you don’t have any on hand, you can grind oats up in the food processor. Hope this helps and you enjoy this recipe!

      1. 5 stars
        Thank you for your reply
        I tried your recipe today and must say the cookies turned up so good.very easy to make 👍😃

        1. Of course! I am SO glad you loved this recipe. Thank you so much for your star rating + review, I really appreciate it!

  28. I really like your recipes as they offer substitutions for certain ingredients. I am lactose intolerant and have IBS so there are many foods I cannot eat. Thankfully there are lactose free items now available on the market that I can use.

    1. Aw thank you so much, Paulette. I am glad you are enjoying my recipes. I hope you enjoy these cookies, they are one of my favorites!

  29. 4 stars
    These were sooo good – Next time I’m going to try some raw honey instead of the maple syrup – but this was an excellent cookie recipe ….just like Girl Scout cookies

    1. Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe and it turned out great for you, Karen. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I appreciate it!

  30. These didn’t turn out for me unfortunately, with an incredibly strong baking soda aftertaste. The only change I made was using regular sugar instead of coconut sugar.

    1. Hi Kelsey – So sorry to hear these did not turn out. How much baking soda did you use and how fresh was it?
