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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour the vanilla extract into the peanut butter mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff, distributing it through the dough without deflating it, to add moisture and a unique chewy texture to the cookies.
- Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them evenly to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookie edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can use chunky peanut butter if you prefer a little crunch.
- Make sure not to overbake; the cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after removal from the oven.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
