2. Toast the Marshmallows
- Preheat your broiler or use a kitchen torch to toast the mini marshmallows.
- Broiler Method: Spread the marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until golden and puffed.
- Torch Method: Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows individually for more control.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Sandwich Cookies
- Take one cooled cookie and spread a layer of creamy peanut butter on the flat side.
- Place a few toasted marshmallows on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Add a few chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate over the marshmallows.
- Top with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
- Optional: Roll the edges of the sandwich in crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor.
4. Let the Chocolate Set
- If you want the chocolate to harden slightly, refrigerate the assembled cookies for 10–15 minutes.
- Serve at room temperature for the best gooey texture.
Serving Suggestions
- For Dessert: Pair with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
- At Gatherings: Arrange on a platter for potlucks, birthday parties, or holiday celebrations.
- As Gifts: Package in decorative boxes or bags for thoughtful homemade gifts.
- With Variations: Swap peanut butter for Nutella, almond butter, or even caramel sauce for a different twist.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use Soft Cookies: Choose a peanut butter cookie recipe that yields soft, chewy cookies for the best texture.
- Toast Carefully: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows when broiling—they can go from golden to burnt quickly!
- Melt Chocolate Evenly: Microwave chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the cookies without toasting the marshmallows, then toast them just before serving for maximum gooeyness.
