A New Kind of Fluffernutter Sandwich
A tribute to the classic lunchbox treat, these fluffernutter cookies combine distinct peanut butter flavor with creamy marshmallow fluff. The thin, soft, and chewy cookies complement the sweet filling so perfectly that they just might taste better than the real thing! For the best tasting fluffernutter cookies, I highly recommend you make my homemade marshmallow frosting for the filling, but you can always use pre-made marshmallow fluff instead if you’re in a pinch.
What Makes My Fluffernutter Cookies So Special:
They have the perfect balance of flavor and texture: salty peanut butter and sweet, fluffy marshmallow. They’re so easy to make, with options for making them completely from scratch or using store-bought filling. No chilling required!They’re absolutely adorable ❤
What You Need
These fluffernutter cookies come together so quickly and use just a few pantry staples, like:
Peanut butter. Stick with regular, creamy peanut butter. I don’t recommend using a “natural” kind and can’t guarantee good results if you do. Light brown sugar. I use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar for flavorful, soft cookies. Dark brown sugar could work too, but it will change the flavor of the final result.Salt. Yes, we’re adding a full teaspoon of table salt to these cookies! This enhances the peanut butter flavor and helps it to contrast the sweet marshmallow filling. And remember, you need to use unsalted butter–otherwise your fluffernutter cookies may end up too salty!
SAM’S TIP: If you’ve let your homemade marshmallow filling sit for too long, you may need to rewhip it before adding it to your fluffernutter cookies. Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full recipe please scroll down to the bottom of the post!
