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 correct temperature for baking your cookies evenly and thoroughly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended to create a sweet, creamy base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla. Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Dry into Wet. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
- Fold in Marshmallow Fluff. Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff to maintain its light, airy texture, adding a signature gooeyness to the cookies.
- Shape Cookies. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps achieve the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- Do not overbake to preserve the cookies’ soft and chewy texture.
- Using parchment paper ensures easy removal and prevents sticking.
- For a crunchier texture, chill the dough before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
