Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Step 3: Add the baking soda and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows.
- Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. If desired, gently press a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
- Step 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To keep these cookies soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread.
- A quick zap in the microwave for 5-10 seconds will make the marshmallows extra gooey and delicious.
- Serve these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
- For best results, don't overmix the dough after adding the marshmallows, as this can cause them to melt and make the cookies sticky.
