Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff (or mini marshmallows, melted)
- ½ cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
- Optional: crushed graham crackers for rolling edges
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars until smooth. Incorporate egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Gently fold in flour, baking soda, and salt to create a soft, pliable dough.
- Shape and Bake: Portion dough into uniform balls, arranging them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly press with a fork to create a textured surface. Bake in a preheated 350F (175C) oven until edges turn a delicate golden hue, approximately 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Craft Filling: Melt chocolate chips in short microwave bursts, stirring between intervals until silky. Simultaneously, transform marshmallows into a luscious, spreadable fluff using gentle heat.
- Construct Sandwich: Apply a generous layer of marshmallow fluff on one cookie’s surface. Drizzle melted chocolate onto another cookie’s flat side. Press cookies together, creating a decadent sandwich. Optional: Roll exposed edges in crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: For maximum indulgence, consume immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate briefly to help the filling set and intensify the flavor profile.
Notes
- Cream butter and peanut butter thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent cookie base with perfect texture.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent melting and maintain structural integrity of the sandwich.
- Use marshmallow fluff sparingly to avoid overwhelming the cookie’s delicate balance of flavors.
- Melt chocolate slowly and carefully, stirring frequently to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
