Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies
- 1½ cups (250 g) smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups (160 g) plain all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
For the Filling
- 1 cup (96 g) marshmallow fluff
- ¼ cup (64.5 g) peanut butter, gently warmed
- ½ cup (84 g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep Oven & Pan:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and airy (about 2–3 minutes). Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Shape & Bake:
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Use the tines of a fork to gently press down each ball in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the edges turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and glossy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff onto the flat side of one cookie.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of warmed peanut butter over the fluff.
- Spoon or drizzle a layer of melted chocolate on top.
- Gently press a second cookie, flat side down, onto the filling to form a sandwich.
- Let the cookies rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes—or refrigerate for 10 minutes—to let the layers set.
- Enjoy:
- Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature with a cold glass of milk.
Notes
Pro Tips & Variations
- Timing Is Everything: Remove the cookies when they’re just set—overbaking makes them too firm.
- Chocolate Swap: For deeper flavor, use dark or semi-sweet chips.
- Extra Crunch: Gently fold in ¼ cup of crushed graham crackers to the dough for authentic campfire vibes.
- Freezer-Friendly: Store assembled or unfilled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw before serving.
