Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
For the S’mores Filling:
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (or roughly chopped large marshmallows)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1–2 tsp heavy cream (optional, to loosen the filling if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Shape Cookies: Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball gently with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes until set but still soft. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Make Filling: In a small bowl, stir together mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs. If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of heavy cream to help bind the ingredients.
- Assemble: Spread a generous layer of the s’mores filling on the underside of one cookie and top with a second cookie to form a sandwich.
- Enjoy: Repeat with the remaining cookies. For an extra indulgent treat, place assembled sandwiches in a preheated 350°F oven for 2–3 minutes to let the chocolate and marshmallows melt slightly—watch carefully to avoid over-melting.
Notes
- The cookies are best when the peanut butter dough is soft and chewy. Avoid overbaking for maximum tenderness.
- For added texture, lightly toast the graham cracker crumbs before mixing them into the filling.
These sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
