Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Use natural peanut butter for best results.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Packed.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg Room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Ensure it contains xanthan gum.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

For the Marshmallow Filling

  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, ensuring the egg is well mixed in.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Form and Bake the Cookies

  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Press a few mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie dough ball, ensuring they are slightly embedded.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
