While these cookies are very easy to make, I am somewhat disappointed in the outcome. The texture of the cookies are great-soft and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. But the flavor is nothing like the fluffernutter sandwich that I love. The cookie literally tastes like eating a spoonful of peanut butter. While this might be appealing to some people, it is not the taste I was hoping for.
My Mom had the idea of sandwiching marshmallow fluff in between two cookies, which would add more marshmallow flavor and a bit of sweetness to these otherwise bland cookies. Or, if you decide to make these, you could try adding some sugar and vanilla to the cookie dough to add a bit of sweetness and flavor. Or, you could just stick to the basics and make a fluffernutter sandwich.
Fluffernutter Cookies
(16 cookies)
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 egg
1 cup marshmallow fluff
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Add peanut butter and egg to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Fold in marshmallow fluff. Do not fully mix in fluff; you want to see streaks of fluff throughout the dough. Drop tablespoon size cookie dough on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Be careful not to over bake; these cookies are done when they start to turn light golden brown. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to cooling rack and cool completely.
