Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time1 hour 22 minutes
Servings: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter salted, softened
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 large marshmallows cut in half
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Add butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream on medium until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add peanut butter and mix on medium until combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix on low until combined.
  • Add baking soda and all the flour. Mix on low just until combined. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Remove dough from refrigerator. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and shape into a ball. Place dough balls on prepare baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes and remove from oven. Gently place marshmallow half on each cookie. Bake for 3 more minutes until edges of cookie turn golden brown.
  • Remove cookies from oven. While cookies cool, melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds. If still not melted, microwave for another 15-30 seconds. Scoop a teaspoon of chocolate and spread over the top of each cookie. Sprinkle with sprinkles, if desired. If you want to store immediately, chill them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden chocolate.
