Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Swirl in the marshmallow fluff: Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff, creating swirls without fully mixing it into the dough.
- Shape the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Fluffernutter Cookies are a delicious blend of creamy peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, making them a perfect sweet and salty treat that’s sure to satisfy any dessert craving!
