Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour (stir, spoon & level)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (132 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (45 g) mini marshmallows, frozen
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preparation of Ingredients
Begin by freezing the mini marshmallows for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are solid. Keep them in the freezer until they are ready to be added to the dough.
2. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your cookie sheets by lining them with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir these ingredients together and set aside for later use.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars
Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the granulated and light brown sugars until the mixture is light and creamy.
5. Incorporate Wet Ingredients
Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until all components are thoroughly combined.
6. Combine with Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until the dough is almost fully incorporated but do not overmix.
7. Add Marshmallows
Fold in the frozen mini marshmallows quickly to prevent them from thawing.
8. Shape and Bake
Using a cookie scoop, form the dough into balls and place them a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
9. Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. Optionally, reshape any misshapen cookies using a greased spatula shortly after they come out of the oven.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 24 cookies. Preparation time is about 20 minutes, with an additional 12 minutes for baking.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
