1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup marshmallow cream (or fluff)

1/4 cup peanut butter (for topping)

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the dough:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Cream the peanut butter and butter: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Add the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.

Shape the cookies:

Form the cookie dough: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dough ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern, similar to classic peanut butter cookies.

Add the marshmallow filling:

Add marshmallow cream: Use your finger or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Place a small spoonful of marshmallow cream into each indentation.

Top with peanut butter: Place a small dollop of peanut butter on top of the marshmallow cream. This will create a delicious peanut butter-marshmallow combo in each bite!

Bake the cookies:

Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake; they should remain soft in the center.

Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these soft, chewy Fluffernutter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
