1 cup creamy peanut butter
03 -
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
04 -
1/4 tsp salt
05 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
06 -
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
07 -
1 large egg
08 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
09 -
1 cup granulated sugar
→ Marshmallow Fluff Frosting
10 -
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
11 -
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
12 -
Heavy cream, optional (for consistency)
13 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
14 -
2 cups powdered sugar
→ Chocolate Coating
15 -
1 bag Ghirardelli milk or dark chocolate melts
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
In a big bowl, mix the peanut butter, softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, stirring until everything's blended.
03 -
Grab another bowl and whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Slowly combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients, stirring until dough forms.
04 -
Roll out 1 1/2-inch dough balls and arrange them on your prepared tray. Lightly flatten them using your palm or the back of a spoon. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges turn golden. Let them cool off completely on a wire rack.
05 -
Beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy and light, around 2–3 minutes. Mix the marshmallow fluff in next. Add the powdered sugar bit by bit, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and keep mixing until the frosting is super smooth. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a splash of heavy cream until it's just right.
06 -
Spread or pipe marshmallow frosting onto the flat side of one cookie. Press another cookie on top to sandwich them together. Keep going until all the cookies are paired up.
07 -
Follow the melting directions on the chocolate package. Dip each built cookie halfway into the chocolate, letting the extra drip off. Lay the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate harden at room temperature or cool faster in the fridge.
08 -
Let the cookies come to room temperature before eating for the best experience. Stash any leftovers in an airtight container.
# Notes:
01 -
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle on crushed nuts, flaky sea salt, or colorful sprinkles to make them extra special.
