What You Need To Make This Fluffernutter Cookies Recipe?

Fluffernutter Cookies

Room-Temperature Butter: The unsalted butter should be soft and spreadable, like a blanket on a cool morning. This ensures it combines perfectly with the sugars creating a fluffy base for our cookies. It’s the secret to achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture we all adore!

Light brown sugar and granulated sugar: We’re using both light brown sugar and granulated sugar in this recipe. The brown sugar brings a touch of molasses flavor and depth of sweetness while the granulated sugar adds that sweetness and helps give the cookies a crisp edge. It’s like the harmony in your song.

Peanut Butter: Smooth peanut butter, such as known brands like Skippy or Jif not only adds nuttiness but also imparts that distinctive Fluffernutter charm to these cookies. It’s like experiencing an embrace with every bite!

Eggs: They are more than ingredients; they play a role in binding everything together. Make sure they are at room temperature like the butter to ensure blending.

Vanilla: Considered as the note in a symphony vanilla rounds out the flavors beautifully and brings an irresistibly sweet aroma, to these cookies.

Marshmallow Crème: While Jet Puffed works wonders feel free to use your brand for this ingredient.
It’s the gooey, core of every cookie bringing a surprise with each bite.

All-purpose flour: We use all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled to create the foundation, for our cookies. It’s like the canvas for our masterpiece.

Baking soda and baking powder: Baking soda and baking powder are the heroes that give these cookies their rise and soft texture.

Steps To Make Fluffernutter Cookies:

Fluffernutter Cookies

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Get two baking sheets, with parchment paper. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer beat the butter and sugars together until they become fluffy which should take 3 minutes. Mix in the peanut butter until it becomes smooth. Next add the eggs one at a time making sure each one is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 2: In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Carefully incorporate these ingredients into your butter mixture without overmixing.

Step 3: Now it’s time to shape the cookies. Take scoops of dough. Roll them into balls. Make an indentation in each ball. Fill it with marshmallow creme. Cover the creme with dough while leaving some on top exposed. Place these cookie balls on your baking sheets. Gently flatten them slightly. For a touch, you can add a few peanut butter chips on top.

Step 4: Bake, for 10 minutes. Keep in mind that they will continue to bake a little after being taken out of the oven. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them onto a cooling rack.

For a touch of perfection try refrigerating your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This little secret works wonders! It allows the flavors to blend together harmoniously ensuring that every bite is filled with the rich taste of peanut butter and marshmallow.

Takes your Fluffernutter Cookies from being great, to absolutely irresistible!

Notes

To turn these Fluffernutter Cookies into a gluten-free treat it's not just, about swapping ingredients. It's about embracing a dimension of baking that is equally delicious and satisfying. So here's an effective method to make them gluten-free;
Choose the Right Flour: Replace all-purpose flour with a quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Look for one that has xanthan gum included, as it mimics the elasticity and fluffiness of gluten.
Pay Attention to Texture: Gluten-free flour tends to absorb moisture. If your dough feels crumbly don't hesitate to add a splash of milk (dairy or nondairy) to achieve the consistency.
Taste Test Your Dough: Different gluten-free flours have varying flavors. Before baking give your dough a taste test. If it seems a bit bland you can add a pinch of vanilla or a spoonful of sugar to enhance the flavors.
Be Patient: Gluten-free dough benefits, from resting time. Allow your dough to sit for around 30 minutes before shaping your cookies. During this resting period the flour gets time to absorb moisture completely. As a result the cookies become tender. Have a texture.
By following these steps you can ensure that everyone can enjoy the nostalgia and delight brought by these cookies while accommodating their needs in a gluten-free way.
