Ingredients:

For the cookies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

• 1 cup marshmallow fluff
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
• 4 graham crackers, crushed

Directions:

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Spread a spoonful of marshmallow fluff on the bottom of one cookie. Drizzle melted chocolate over the fluff and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.

8. Top with a second cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

9. Let the sandwiches set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

How to Serve Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies

These cookies are amazing on their own, but here are a few ideas to make your treat experience even better:

• With Milk: Pair these cookies with a cold glass of milk—whether it’s regular, chocolate, or plant-based, it’s the ultimate combo.

Additional Tips

Here are a few extra tips to make these cookies even better:

• Chill the Dough: If you want to make the dough ahead of time, chill it for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
• Use Peanut Butter Chips: If you’re really a peanut butter lover, swap out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips for an extra punch of flavor.
• Make Them Gooey: To make the marshmallow extra gooey, pop the assembled cookies in the microwave for a few seconds before eating. The warm marshmallow will make every bite even better.
• Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them and thaw them out for a quick treat anytime.
• Double the Batch: These cookies are so popular, you might want to double the recipe! They freeze beautifully, so you can have them ready for a sweet moment whenever you need.

 

FAQ Section

Q1: Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?
A1: Absolutely! Crunchy peanut butter will add some extra texture to the cookies, which can be a fun twist.

Q2: Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
A2: You can, but mini marshmallows melt more evenly and are the perfect size for sandwiching between cookies. If you use regular marshmallows, just be sure to cut them into smaller pieces.

Q3: Can I make these cookies without chocolate chips?
A3: Sure! You can leave out the chocolate chips or substitute them with other mix-ins, like butterscotch chips or even a handful of crushed graham crackers for more of a s’mores vibe.
