🥘 Ingredients Needed

• peanut butter - use the creamy variety to ensure that your cookie dough is smooth and combined well.
• sugar - sweetens up the salty, nutty peanut butter.
• egg - pulls the peanut butter and sugar together to make a perfect 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie.
• marshmallows - melted on top of the cookies, marshmallows are what conjure the nostalgic flavor of s'mores.
• chocolate chips - I used mini chocolate chips (their scale works better with these s'mores cookies), but feel free to use whichever kind you prefer!

🔪 Instructions

1. Add peanut butter, sugar, and egg to a bowl.
2. Mix until well combined.
3. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and scoop onto a way paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Press with a fork in a criss-cross pattern for texture. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

5. Remove the cookies from the oven and place one marshmallow on top of each cookie and bake for 3 more minutes.
6. Use a nonstick spatula to flatten and equally distribute the marshmallow over each cookie.
7. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pop in the oven for another minute or two, just until the chips are melty.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
