Ingredients
Scale
- For the Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the Filling:
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow creme (fluff)
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- Optional: crushed graham crackers for extra crunch
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Chill: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape & Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart. Flatten gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread marshmallow creme on the bottom of one cookie. Spread melted chocolate on another and sandwich them together. Optional: roll edges in crushed graham crackers.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or let sit 10–15 minutes for chocolate to set. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading.
- Microwave chocolate chips in short bursts for smooth melting.
- These cookies freeze well—just wrap individually and store in a freezer bag.
