Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Large marshmallows (halved)
- Chocolate bars or chocolate spread (for filling)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, blend the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and airy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well-incorporated.
-
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Shape the Cookies:
- Shape the dough into small spheres and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
-
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a layer of chocolate on one cookie. Place a halved marshmallow on top and microwave for 10-15 seconds to slightly melt the marshmallow.
- Top with another cookie and press lightly to form a sandwich.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the cookies to set for a few minutes so the marshmallow and chocolate cool and firm up. Enjoy your gooey, delicious s’mores sandwich cookies!
Notes
- If you’re using chocolate spread, be sure to spread it thinly to avoid making the cookies too messy.
- You can customize the size of the cookies by adjusting the dough spheres, but be mindful of the baking time.
- If you like extra gooey marshmallows, microwave the marshmallow for a little longer, but be careful not to overdo it!
