Ingredients
Scale
Cookies Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Peanut Butter Components:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Marshmallow Fluff Components:
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Cream unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, blending until smooth and well integrated.
- Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
- In a separate small bowl, gently mix marshmallow fluff with powdered sugar and milk until creamy and spreadable.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball using the back of a spoon.
- Fill each cookie’s center with a dollop of marshmallow mixture.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookie edges turn golden brown and centers appear set.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow marshmallow filling to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth and consistent mixing of butter and other components.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend that contains xanthan gum for better texture.
- Swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter to make the recipe nut-free and allergy-friendly for those with nut sensitivities.
