CHEWY MARSHMALLOW COOKIES


 
 
These are puffy, thick circular pile of goodness.  They are my go to treat of choice when kids are craving something sweet. Actually the idea of stuffing Marshmallow inside the cookies was by my daughter, who is a die-hard fan of marshmallows.
 
Kids being into sport, having a spoon of peanut butter are part of their diet. This simple day to day ingredients is always available in my pantry.  I don’t not like baking due to the long waiting hours. These cookies take couple of minutes to prepare and bake.  This is such a delicious treat for sweet cravers.  The amount of time it takes really matters!!
 
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and bake a batch of these little beauties and have it with a glass of milk.

  • Some marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling the dough
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

 

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
 
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer), until soft and creamy.
 

Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully combined.
 


In a separate large bowl, Seive the Flour, baking soda and salt for 2 times. 




Add the wet ingredients mixture into this dry ingredients large bowl slowly, continuously mixing using your mixer and make a soft dough.  Roll the dough into 1 to 2-inch balls.
 

 Arrange the marshmallows in bowl.  With your fingers slightly flatten the dough balls and stuff the marshmallow piece in each dough and then roll out the dough. 



Coat evenly the balls with the granulated white sugar and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased, parchment-lined baking sheet.




Gently give a small press on each balls with your four fingers (do not make it flat).
Bake for 10-12 minutes or as soon as tops begin to slightly cracks and the marshmallows popping out. To keep them soft and chewy, be careful to not overbake. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack
 

The flavour is deep, nutty and assertive. The texture has the perfect balance between crisp and soft.
