Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Main Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
Complementary Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Utilize an electric mixer to blend butter, peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars until achieving a light, airy texture, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition. Introduce vanilla extract and blend completely.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt through careful whisking.
- Merge dry ingredients into wet mixture using low-speed mixing, maintaining careful restraint to prevent overmixing.
- Craft uniform dough balls using a cookie scoop, positioning them two inches apart on prepared sheets. Gently flatten each ball using palm or glass bottom.
- Roast cookies in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers maintain slight softness. Avoid excessive baking.
- Transition cookies to wire racks after initial 5-minute cooling period on baking sheets.
- Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter through microwave technique, stirring between 20-second intervals until achieving smooth consistency.
- Allow chocolate-peanut butter mixture to slightly cool, then fold in mini marshmallows. Wait 5-10 minutes for mixture to reach spreadable thickness.
- Construct sandwich cookies by inverting half the batch, applying marshmallow-chocolate filling, and topping with remaining cookies. Apply gentle pressure.
- Allow completed cookies to stabilize for 30 minutes, enabling filling to solidify and prevent messy consumption.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth, even mixing to create a perfect cookie texture.
- Use exact measurements for flour and graham cracker crumbs to maintain the right cookie consistency.
- Let cookies cool completely before assembling to prevent filling from melting and maintain structural integrity.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that preserves the cookie’s original taste and texture.
