HOW TO MAKE THE MOST MAGICAL PEANUT BUTTER & MARSHMALLOW COOKIES! This is by far my favourite cookie recipe ever and I feel like I may have passed this down to my kids too! I have made these cookies so many times for my kids, they are their absolute favourite and I truly hope they become a happy memory in their childhood of because of their colourful nature and gooeiness when pulled apart
This is the perfect balance of sweet sticky gooey marshmallow, and salty creamy peanut butter compliment each other so beautifully. Thrown together from an old peanut butter cookie recipe and what I had in the store cupboard at the time, I can only thank lack of a shopping trip and a sweet craving for stumbling across this divine outcome of a recipe.
I had to take these pictures while the cookies were still warm and gooey as they didn't last much longer after that! So I hope it shows just how moreish they are.

Ingredients in this recipe
Butter- I use unsalted butter to give a rich creamy buttery flavour. You may substitute for a dairy free alternative if need be.
Soft light brown sugar- A sweeter that offers a delicate caramelisation to this melt in your mouth cookie.
Caster sugar- A traditional sweetener
Egg- I use medium sized free range eggs in all my recipes
Peanut Butter- I use 100% nuts peanut butter for the best texture. You can choose between smooth or crunchy depending on preference
Plain flour- Unbleached plain flour works best for this recipe
Baking Powder- A rising agent with helps give a fluffiness to these cookies
Bicarbonate of Soda- A rising agent that when combined with an acidic ingredient works to give a light and fluffy cookie
Salt- I use sea salt in all my cooking for the best flavour and mineral absorption in the body.
Mini Marshmallows- I adore the gooey pull apart texture of these cookies, and the mini marshmallows add such a magical next level taste and texture. Pure Bliss.

Equipment
Yeild- 16 medium sized cookies
Ingredients
115g Softened unsalted butter
100g Soft light brown sugar
110g Caster sugar
1 Egg
125g Peanut butter, smooth or crunchy depending on preference
165g Plain flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
3/4 Bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp Salt
50g Mini marshmallows
Method
Pre-heat your oven to 175'c oven/gas mark 4
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or your silicone baking mat
In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter and whip until light and fluffy. It should look nearly white in colour
Add the soft light brown sugar, caster sugar, egg and peanut butter and whisk to combine.
Add the plain flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and fold in until combined.
At this point I like to use an ice-cream scoop to scoop my cookie dough out into equal portions and set on my baking tray. Alternatively you can use your hands to roll the dough into balls about the size of a ping pong ball. Be sure to leave about 3 inches between each ball as they will spread out in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on how gooey you prefer your cookies.
Leave to cool on the baking tray for up to 30 minutes before removing.
Store in and airtight container for up to 5 days, perfect for when you're needing a pick me up treat!
