Fluffernutter Cookies

Print Recipe
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 13 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (Note 1)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 13 tablespoons marshmallow fluff

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, add the peanut butter, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy, 45 to 60 seconds. (Don't overbeat or the oil will start separating from the peanut butter).
  • Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined, scraping the bowl as needed, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the flour and baking soda and beat on lowest speed until just combined.
  • Using a 3-tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough onto a dinner plate (you should have enough for about 13 cookies). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Transfer 7 dough mounds to prepared sheet pan. Flatten each mound into a disc about 3 1/2-inches wide (arranging in three rows of one and two rows of two).
  • Add a heaping tablespoon of marshmallow fluff to the center of each disc.
  • Seal the fluff within the dough, creating a ball, pinching off excess dough and patching up where needed. (The dough will crack and fluff will leak. This is normal!)
  • Bake until edges are golden brown and tops are matte, about 8 minutes. (It's okay if they look a little misshapen.) Place the sheet pan on a cooling rack.
  • Using a deli container, cover each cookie within the container and scoot in a circular motion. This will reshape the cookie into a perfect round. (Make sure to do this as soon as they come out of the oven, while they're still hot).
  • Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer cookies directly to the rack and cool completely.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and marshmallow fluff.

Notes

  • Note 1: A creamy no-stir option, like Jif, is best.
