Ingredients
  

  • - 1/2 cup white sugar
  • - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • - 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • - 1 stick softened butter
  • - 1 egg
  • - 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • - 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • - 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • - 1/4 tsp salt
  • - 1 bar sweet melting chocolate
  • - 30 large marshmallows

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix white sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, and egg.
  2. Stir in all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1" balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork in crisscross patterns.
  4. Bake for 8-9 minutes until lightly browned. Place a marshmallow in the center of each cookie and bake for another 2 minutes. Use a spatula to flatten the marshmallows.
  5. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Melt chocolate in a small bowl in 30-second increments. Swirl chocolate onto each cookie using a spoon.

Notes

- Ensure dough is well chilled for optimal texture.
- Use a fork to create the classic crisscross pattern.
- Marshmallows add gooey goodness to each bite.
