Ingredients
 

Cookie Dough

  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Finish

  • 24 regular marshmallows (not mini or jumbo)
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment. Set oven to 340°F (170°C). Pop the marshmallows into the freezer to firm up while you make the dough; this slows their melting.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt until evenly combined.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and honey on medium-high until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat 1 minute more. Mix in the egg and egg yolk just until smooth, then blend in the milk and vanilla on low speed.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on low until the flour is just incorporated. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes to hydrate; it will thicken slightly and scoop more cleanly.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Gently press each mound to about 3/4-inch thick. Par-bake for 6 minutes to set the edges.
  • Remove the pans from the oven. Working quickly, press one cold marshmallow into the center of each cookie. Return to the oven and bake 6 to 7 minutes more, until the edges are set and the marshmallows show light golden spots.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a rack. While still warm, finish with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on each cookie.

Notes

Tip: If the dough feels sticky, lightly oil your cookie scoop or chill the dough for an extra 10 minutes. Store cooled cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days; the marshmallow centers stay soft.
