Ingredients
  

For Marshmallow Fluff

  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

For Peanut Butter and Fluff Cookies

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • Additional granulated sugar for rolling optional

Instructions
 

Making Marshmallow Fluff

  • In a heatproof bowl, combine the light corn syrup and powdered sugar.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Stir the mixture constantly until the powdered sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is hot to the touch, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat.
  • In a separate clean mixing bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
  • Gradually pour the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg white while continuing to beat on high speed.
  • Continue beating until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds its shape, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract and beat for another minute to incorporate.

Making Peanut Butter and Fluff Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff until it's swirled throughout the dough.
  • Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough
  • Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Using a fork, press down gently on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For uniform cookie sizes, use a cookie scoop. This ensures even baking and helps maintain shape during cooking
