Ingredients – What you need for the Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Cookies

Dry Ingredients

Flour

When it comes to dry ingredients this is one of the staples you will find in most cookie recipes. Flour provides the base and structure for the cookie dough. We like to use all-purpose flour and you will need 1 cup. When measuring the flour use a spoon and sift it before adding it to your cookie mixture.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is such an important element to add to the flour mixture. It helps with the rising and the overall shape of the cookie. You only need 1/2 a tsp for this recipe.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar will help to give that chewy texture we know and love when it comes to cookies. You only need 1/3 cup of it and it will produce incredible chewy cookies.

Granulated Sugar

The granulated white sugar will add sweetness to these creamy peanut butter cookies. The brown sugar gives the golden brown color but the granulated white sugar adds a level of sweetness. You need 1/3 cup for these baked cookies.

Salt

Because you are using unsalted butter this is where you can control the flavor. You will only need 1/4 teaspoon.

Wet Ingredients

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is what will add flavor to these incredible cookies. The taste is just a sensation. You can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter in this recipe, or even your favorite natural peanut butter brand. This recipe needs 1/4 cup of peanut butter.

Butter

For this recipe, you need 1/2 cup of butter that is softened at room temperature. Unsalted butter is best for this recipe so you can control the flavor.

Egg

One large egg is the perfect addition to get the dough’s texture just right. The egg yolk also helps with that chewy texture and golden color of the cookies.

Vanilla extract

You can’t go wrong with the vanilla flavor when it comes to these delicious cookies. You will need 1 tsp of vanilla for this cookie recipe.

The added fun

Finally, you want to add an element of fun to these chewy peanut butter cookies and this is where adding 1 cup of chocolate chips will give them the edge. For this recipe, we used 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Another thing you will need is 7 large marshmallows. You might also want to put some extra peanut butter to the side as well, but this is an optional add-on.

How to make the Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Cookies

The best way to start any recipe is to measure out your ingredients and get them all together. Preheat your oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Now you are ready to begin.

Get a large bowl and stir the flour, salt, and baking soda together and set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl you will want to cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars together until light and fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla. Beat all of the ingredients until they are smooth. You can do this with an electric mixer. The paddle attachment is probably best for this.

Now you will want to stir in the flour mixture until well combined. The next stage is to fold in the chocolate chips.

Divide into a cookie dough ball. You will get seven from this batch of cookie dough. You could use a large cookie scoop for this. Then place the dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Flatten each ball as shown in the pictures. At this point, if you want, you can add a little extra peanut butter on top. It is super tasty but totally optional. Then put a marshmallow in the center of each. Check out the pictures for the next stage but you will want to pinch the cookie dough around the top. It’s okay if some marshmallow is showing. It’s more important for the cookie dough to be under the marshmallow than above, this is so it doesn’t melt over the pan.

Once you have done this with all seven cookies then bake in the center of the oven for 12 minutes. Bake until the edges of the cookies are set. Let cool on the pan for at least ten minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Now enjoy your delightful fluffernutter cookies.

You could add some peanut butter chips to this recipe instead of chocolate chips. Or do half chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips.

The extra peanut butter makes these more like fluffernutter sandwiches, but it is super tasty so you might want to give that a go.

You could use a spoonful of marshmallow cream instead of the large marshmallows if you prefer. Or gooey marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows will work just as well.

Why not turn these into fluffernutter chocolate chip cookie bars? Bake them as a whole on the cookie sheet and then you can cut them into bars when they are cooled. Yum!
