Fluffernutter Sandwich Cookies

Author: Sam Merritt

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 25 cookie sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Skippy, Jif or other such brands)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 6-8 cups store-bought marshmallow fluff

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and use an electric mixer (or stand mixer) to stir together on medium-speed until creamy and well-combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir again until well-combined, pausing occasionally to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. With mixer on low-speed, gradually stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture (I do this in 3-4 parts) until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Be sure to scrape sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
  6. Drop cookie dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart.
  7. Transfer to 350F preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely and proceeding (they are a bit fragile when hot).

Assembly

Scoop a heaping 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop of marshmallow fluff onto the center of the bottom of one cooled cookie. Top with another cookie and lightly press together to form a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies have been filled.

Pro Tips:

– This recipe has not been tested on natural peanut butter. For best results use a conventional brand such as Skippy or Jif.

**Storage**

These sandwich cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an air tight container.
