My youngest Hungry Puppy recently requested peanut butter cookies, which quickly evolved into peanut butter sandwich cookies, and what other choice did I have than to do Fluffernutters? If my poor metabolism could take it, I would regularly eat fluffernutter sandwiches. Because they are totally amazingly delicious. These cookies are the same. I actually ate two of them. Which is amazing because they are serious cookies. The cookies are a little more crumbly than I wanted, but I'm going with it. They are soft and tender and peanut buttery, and since that luscious marshmallowy goodness holds all the pieces together, they can crumble away!
Fluffernutter Cookie Sandwiches
Peanut Butter Cookies:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Marshmallow Filling:
1 container (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
dash of salt
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoons) to scoop the dough and place on a baking sheet. Use a fork to press the cookie flat, then lift the fork and press down again in the other direction, creating a criss-cross pattern. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, or until they are just set (you want them to stay soft). Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the marshmallow filling, beat together the marshmallow cream, shortening, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until well blended.
To assemble the cookies, sandwich a large dollop of marshmallow filling between two peanut butter cookies. Eat. Repeat. Makes about 12 cookie sandwiches.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
