Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare baking trays with parchment paper.
Cream together butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter for 3 minutes in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with beaters.
Add egg, vanilla and molasses. Beat to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine. Add to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
With a medium cookie scoop, scoop balls onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake 10-12 minutes, banging the tray near the end to help the cookies flatten.
Remove and let sit on baking tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Make the frosting
Beat butter for 3-4 minutes until lighter in color and fluffy. Add peanut butter, vanilla and salt and beat to combine.
Add powdered sugar in batches beating slowly to combine. Add milk and beat until fluffy.
Decorate cookies
Pipe peanut butter frosting on top of the cooled peanut butter molasses cookies in a swirl pattern with a plain round tip.
Top with chopped peanuts, if desired.
