Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the filling, in a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, mini marshmallows, and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the peanut butter filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
