Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well blended and the batter is uniform in texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to distribute the leavening agent and salt evenly.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Carefully fold in the marshmallow fluff to the dough, ensuring it is evenly distributed without deflating the fluff too much.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light golden color.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents breakage.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and flavor balance.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies soft and chewy.
- Marshmallow fluff adds a unique sweetness and texture, folding it gently is key to preserve softness.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
