Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup marshmallow fluff

Dry Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
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 prepare for baking the cookies at the right temperature.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the peanut butter mixture, add the vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff into the cookie dough, incorporating it well without deflating the fluff’s texture.
Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, indicating they are cooked but still soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps retain their chewy texture.

Notes

For best results, do not overbake to maintain the chewy texture.
You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter, but the texture may be slightly different.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking can enhance the flavor profile.
