Yield 12 Cookies
· ⅔ cup all purpose flour
· 1 teaspoon baking soda
· Pinch of salt
· 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
· 1 cup creamy peanut butter, well-stirred if using natural
· 1 ⅓ cups light brown sugar
· 1 egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
· 1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean paste or extract
· 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup marshmallow fluff, depending on how much you add to each cookie
· In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
· In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine butter, peanut butter and brown sugar and beat on medium speed until light an fluffy.
· Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
· Add dry mixture and beat again to combine until you have a thick dough.
· Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 1 hour.
· Preheat oven to 325 °F. Prepare two baking sheets with nonstick silicon mats or parchment paper and set aside.
· Grab a medium cookie scoop and fill it halfway with dough, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Spoon a teaspoon of marshmallow fluff into the center, and then top with more dough to fill the scoop. Place each ball of dough on prepared baking sheets, with no more than 6 on each, evenly spaced out with plenty of room for the cookies to spread.
· Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies have spread and started to crinkle on top. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet itself – they will continue to spread and set a bit more as they cool. Carefully move to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
