Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Sweet Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Binding/Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and beat 1 cup peanut butter with ½ cup softened butter until they transform into a creamy, smooth blend.
- Pour in 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed brown sugar, then blend until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a silky consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt until perfectly combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into your butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Sprinkle 1 cup mini marshmallows and ½ cup chocolate chips into the dough, gently folding them throughout.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheets into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for golden edges.
- Remove cookies and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before devouring.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest, most evenly mixed cookie dough.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend.
- Press a few extra marshmallows and chocolate chips on top of each cookie right before baking for a more decadent look.
