Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 ½ cups (250 g) creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup (96 g) marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ cup (64.5 g) creamy peanut butter, warmed
  • ½ cup (84 g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream the peanut butter, butter, and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter, unsalted softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. This creates a smooth base for the cookies.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to distribute the leavening agent and seasoning evenly throughout the flour.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Scoop and shape cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each dough ball slightly and create a crisscross pattern on top with a fork for a classic peanut butter cookie look.
  7. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Melt the chocolate: In short intervals of 20 seconds, melt the milk chocolate chips, stirring between intervals to achieve a smooth, glossy texture without burning.
  9. Assemble the sandwich cookies: Take one cookie and spread 1 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff evenly over it. Add 1 teaspoon of warmed creamy peanut butter over the fluff, then drizzle or spread some of the melted chocolate on top. Place a second cookie gently on top to form a sandwich, pressing lightly to adhere the filling.
  10. Set the filling: Allow the assembled sandwich cookies to set at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to let the filling firm up, or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
  11. Serve: Once the filling has set, serve your delicious Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies and enjoy the perfect combination of creamy, gooey, and crunchy textures.

Notes

  • Use room temperature egg to ensure even mixing.
  • Warming the peanut butter for the filling makes it easier to spread.
  • Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
  • For a different twist, try using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
  • Store sandwich cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
