Tips & Variations

• Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added texture.
• Substitute milk chocolate Hershey kisses with dark or white chocolate for a different flavor.
• For extra gooeyness, add a second marshmallow half on top before broiling.
• Chill the dough slightly before baking to help the cookies keep their shape better.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds to revive the soft marshmallow and melted chocolate.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze the cookies?

Yes, these cookies freeze well. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and thaw at room temperature before enjoying. You can warm them slightly to restore softness.

What can I substitute for marshmallows if I don’t have any?

If you don’t have marshmallows, you can try using mini marshmallows or even dollops of marshmallow fluff after baking, though the broiling step will need to be adjusted accordingly.

Toppings

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Stir or beat until fully combined and creamy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to form the cookie dough.
5. Shape Dough: Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place each on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper, spacing them evenly.

7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately place half of a marshmallow sticky side down on each cookie.

9. Add Hershey’s Kisses: Quickly place one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss on top of each toasted marshmallow, gently pressing with your finger so the chocolate sinks slightly into the marshmallow and cookie.
10. Cool Completely: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.

Notes

• Use baking paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
• Cookies can be frozen after baking and topping; thaw before serving.
• For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
• Serve once cooled to ensure the chocolate sets properly.
