Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies.
- Cream Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, which incorporates air and creates a tender cookie texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth, ensuring even distribution of flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda, then gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the cookies tough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough for delicious chocolate bursts.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough portions onto lined baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake First Stage: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft, indicating the perfect bake without drying out.
- Add Marshmallows: Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie, then return them to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows puff up and become gooey.
- Cool and Assemble: Allow the cookies to cool slightly before sandwiching two cookies together to create the perfect peanut butter s’mores sandwich cookie.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg and butter for better mixing and texture.
- Spacing dough portions apart helps cookies bake evenly without merging.
- Press marshmallows gently to avoid them melting off the cookie.
- For extra gooeyness, serve the cookies slightly warm.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
