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 reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a creamy base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the peanut butter mixture, mixing thoroughly until everything is well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
- Merge Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Carefully fold in the marshmallow fluff, ensuring it is evenly distributed without deflating the fluff too much, which keeps the cookies soft and moist.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow even spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, signaling they are perfectly cooked but still soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture; natural peanut butter may alter consistency.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
- If you prefer a stronger marshmallow flavor, you can add a little extra fluff to the dough or as a topping after baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness for up to one week.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
