Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Seasoning:
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Create tablespoon-sized dough balls, positioning them approximately 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a fork to gently press down each ball, creating a distinctive criss-cross pattern on top.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, ensuring they remain soft yet set. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a separate bowl, mix mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs. If the mixture seems dry, incorporate 1-2 teaspoons of heavy cream to help bind the ingredients.
- Spread a generous layer of the smores filling on the bottom of one cookie, then top with a second cookie to create a sandwich.
- For an extra decadent touch, place assembled sandwiches in the 350F oven for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chocolate and marshmallows to melt slightly. Monitor closely to prevent over-melting.
- Repeat the process with remaining cookies, creating multiple delightful smores sandwich cookies.
Notes
- Chill dough for 15 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading and create neater cookie edges.
- Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternative, maintaining similar texture and richness.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers and graham cracker substitute for celiac-friendly version without compromising classic s’mores flavor profile.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize filling and match personal taste preferences.
