Marshmallow cream and chocolate sandwiched between two spread cookies…yup, that’s gonna be good! These cookies are soft, gooey piles of mouth watering tastiness. They are to die that means this recipe must accompany a couple of warnings. Warning #1: Don’t just eat the peanut butter cookies as they come out of the oven. Save some for the sandwiching! Warning #2: Possibly addicting. Judging by my cravings for them, they could be within the same category as crack and heroin. Warning #3: You should probably share. I understand the temptation to hoard them all for yourself, but really, you’ll feel better about yourself if you share at least a couple!
Ingredients
Cookie
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 tsp vanilla
Filling
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 jar marshmallow cream (7 oz)
Instructions
- employing a stand or hand mixer, mix cookie ingredients together during a large bowl until well combined.
- Use a spoon to scoop out small amounts of dough to roll into 1/2 inch spheres. Place the dough balls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Press down on the dough balls to slightly flatten.
- Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. The amount of baking time will depend entirely upon the dimensions of the cookies. Watch closely! Take them out as soon as they get a touch of brown.
- Let the cookies stand on the cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes after baking. Remove from cooking utensil and let cool on a wire rack for an additional 10 minutes.
- Refrigerate baked cookies for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and butter together within the microwave. Melt for 10-15 seconds at a time, remove, stir, and continue until the chocolate is totally melted. Let stand 30 minutes until chocolate thickens to a spreadable consistency.
- When cookies and chocolate are ready, heat the marshmallow cream within the microwave for about 10 seconds. This will make it easier to spread.
- Spread marshmallow cream on one cookie, chocolate on the opposite and sandwich together. Repeat until all cookies are used.
Note: These cookies should be stored within the fridge or another cool place. A warm room will cause the marshmallow cream and chocolate to melt and therefore the cookies could melt apart.
