Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is well combined.
- Incorporate Peanut Butter: Gradually add in the peanut butter until well mixed into the batter.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, combining until just mixed. Avoid over-mixing!
Baking
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
- Make the Filling: Once cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff between two cookies, pressing gently.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in intervals of 30 seconds. Drizzle over the assembled cookies.
- Chill and Enjoy: Let the cookies set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies!
