Description
Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the sweet, fluffy texture of marshmallows. These cookies are perfect for any occasion and are easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft. Let cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cool, spread marshmallow fluff on the flat side of half of the cookies and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For a nut-free version, use sun butter or soy nut butter.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for better shape retention.
