Fluffer is marshmallows. Nutter is peanut butter. Two of my favorite ingredients in one cookie.
And they’re some of the best cookies I’ve ever made. For the cookies, I used my recipe for Reese’s Pieces Soft Peanut Butter Cookies. It’s been very popular with readers and the cookies are supremely soft, squishy, tender, and moist, with just a tiny amount of chewiness.
Reese’s Pieces and chocolate chips are abundantly studded throughout the very peanut buttery dough. No need to wonder if these are peanut butter cookies after tasting the peanut butter intensity. Some peanut butter cookies recipes are so blah and lackluster, but not these. The chocolate chips melt, and get gooey, while the Reese’s Pieces add crunchy texture. I love biting into their candy-coated shells amidst the soft, buttery dough.
After the cookies have baked for about 6 minutes, pull them out of the oven, top with half of a large marshmallow, and bake for another couple minutes. Just long enough to soften the marshmallows so they start to melt and a bit. Don’t let them turn into puddles of goo or develop color. I love marshmallows and have never met a Rice Krispie Treat, Marshmallow Cookie Bar, or Smores Cookie that I didn’t love. They make an already really good cookie even better.
After the cookies cool a bit, top them with peanut butter buttercream frosting. It’s the literal icing on the cake. Or on the cookie. It’s creamy, fluffy, peanut buttery, and buttery, with just the right balance of salty-and-sweet. I want to put it on everything. Even broccoli.
The cookies are a peanut butter lover’s dream: Peanut butter in the dough, in the Reese’s Pieces, and in the buttercream. And when mixed with chocolate chips and marshmallows, the range of flavors makes them irresistible.
The texture is something from my dreams. The cookie dough is supremely soft, the Reese’s Pieces add crunch, the chocolate chips are melty and soft, and the marshmallows are like biting into clouds. Clouds that are topped with frosting from the heavens. It’s light, soft, fluffy, and lends even more squishiness. As I was stacking the cookies and the frosting and marshmallows were squishing down, all I could think was, Don’t Squeeze the Charmin.
I finished them off with a pinch of chocolate sprinkles. As if they needed anything else going on, but why not.
