Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- Fold in the graham cracker crumbs, stirring until the mixture forms a consistent dough that holds together easily.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch round balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently press down on each cookie ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern, slightly flattening the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately top each cookie with a few mini marshmallows and chocolate chips while still warm.
- Return the baking sheets to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the marshmallows and chocolate.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your Smores Peanut Butter Cookies!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest dough consistency.
- For extra flavor, use chunky peanut butter instead of smooth.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Watch marshmallows carefully during the final 1-2 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Use a high-quality chocolate chip for the most luxurious flavor.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to achieve the perfect chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving.
