Ingredients
– ½ cup creamy peanut butter
– ½ cup room temperature butter
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 large egg (room temperature)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– ½ teaspoon kosher salt
– 1 cup marshmallow creme (or marshmallow spread/paste)
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C): Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2-In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar with a mixer until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
3-Scrape down the bowl. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined (about 30 seconds).
4-Add flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined (30 seconds to 1 minute).
5-Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch disk.
6-Place about 1 tablespoon of marshmallow creme onto the center of each disk.
7-Fold the dough around the filling, sealing completely, and form balls. Place back on lined baking sheets.
8-Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent filling from burning.
9-Allow cookies to rest on the sheets for 10-15 minutes before serving.
