Step-by-Step Guide to the Best Fluffernutter Cookies

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing Bowl
• Oven
• Spatula
• Silicone Baking Mat
• Electric Hand Mixer
• Cookie Scoop
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Baking Tray

Step 1: Preparation for the Fluffernutter Cookies

• 1 ½ cups (188 g) Flour (stir, spoon & level)
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, gently packed
• ½ cup (132 g) creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (45 g) mini marshmallows, frozen*

Step 2: Cooking the Fluffernutter Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, setting it aside. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Add creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until almost incorporated. Add the frozen marshmallows, gently folding them into the dough. Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes until the cookies are set with slightly browned edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them.

Step 3: Assembling and Finishing

After baking, ensure the cookies have cooled completely. If desired, gently press them again to ensure a uniform shape. Serve the cookies on a platter as a marvelous treat with their chewy, gooey texture enhanced by the warm peanut butter and marshmallow combination. They can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed as a delightful snack throughout the week.

Tips for the Best Fluffernutter Cookies Every Time

• Ensure all ingredients like Butter and Egg are at room temperature for better mixing.
• To maintain the marshmallows’ shape and gooey texture, make sure they remain frozen until added to the dough.
• A silicone baking mat or parchment paper helps prevent the cookies from sticking and ensures a consistent bake.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t overmix the cookie dough once you add the flour; this can result in tougher cookies.
• Be careful with oven temperature; too hot and the marshmallows might completely melt away.
• Make sure to space the cookie dough balls to allow room for spreading as they bake.

Easy Ways to Customize Your Dish

• Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and taste.
• For holiday variations, consider sprinkling colored sugar on top before baking.
• Use mini Fluffernutter Bars instead of marshmallows for a chunkier bite.
