Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 12 large marshmallows, cut in half
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses milk chocolate, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Stir or beat until fully combined and creamy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- 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.
- Shape Dough: Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place each on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper, spacing them evenly.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a slight brown.
- Add Marshmallows: Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately place half of a marshmallow sticky side down on each cookie.
- Broil Marshmallows: Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully until the marshmallows are toasted and browned without burning.
- 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.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Watch closely during broiling to prevent marshmallows from burning.
- 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.
