Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup chopped peanuts, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix just until a soft dough forms.
6. Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff over the dough and gently fold it in, leaving visible ribbons.
7. Fold in the mini marshmallows, pressing any exposed marshmallows slightly into the dough.
8. Scoop the dough into rounded balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top if using.
10. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Notes
For the best texture, do not overmix the dough after adding the flour.
Fold the marshmallow fluff gently so it stays in ribbons instead of disappearing into the dough.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before moving them because the marshmallow pockets are very soft when hot.
