1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Make the cookie dough:
In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until just combined. -
Scoop and bake:
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. -
Assemble the s’mores cookies:
Once cookies are cooled, turn half of them upside down. Place a piece of chocolate on each upside-down cookie, then top with a halved marshmallow. -
Melt the marshmallow:
Toast marshmallows under a broiler for 30–60 seconds or use a kitchen torch. Alternatively, microwave each stack for 10–15 seconds until soft and gooey. -
Make the sandwich:
Top each marshmallow with another cookie to form a sandwich. Press gently to seal. -
Serve:
Enjoy warm and gooey, or let cool for a set, chewy treat!
