How to Make Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies
Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the S’mores Filling
- Place chocolate squares on half of the cooled cookies.
- Toast the marshmallows using:
- Oven broiler – Place on a baking sheet and broil for 30-60 seconds (watch closely!).
- Kitchen torch – Toast until golden brown.
- Microwave – Heat for 5-10 seconds until soft and melty.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich Cookies
- Place a toasted marshmallow on top of the chocolate-covered cookie.
- Top with another peanut butter cookie and gently press down.
- Let sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to melt slightly.
Tips for the Best Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies
✔ Use Creamy Peanut Butter – For smooth, soft cookies. Avoid natural peanut butter, as it can be too oily.
✔ Don’t Overbake – The cookies should be soft to contrast with the crunchy s’mores filling.
✔ Make-Ahead Friendly – Bake cookies ahead of time and assemble when ready to serve.
✔ Extra Chocolate? Yes, Please! – Add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent touch.
✔ Want a Crunch? – Use crunchy peanut butter or add chopped peanuts to the dough.
Variations & Fun Twists
🍫 Double Chocolate – Use chocolate peanut butter cookies for a double dose of chocolate.
🍪 Graham Cracker Crust – Add crushed graham crackers to the dough for extra s’mores flavor.
🔥 Campfire-Style – If you have a fire pit, roast the marshmallows for the ultimate smoky s’mores flavor!
🥜 Nut-Free Version – Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter for an allergy-friendly option.
How to Store & Reheat
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to get the marshmallow gooey again.
- Freeze the peanut butter cookies (without filling) for up to 3 months, then assemble fresh when ready.
