2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup peanut butter chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
6. Fold in peanut butter chips and mini marshmallows gently.
7. Swirl marshmallow creme lightly into the dough without fully blending.
8. Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
9. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.

11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
12. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Chill the dough before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
Slightly underbake the cookies for the softest and chewiest texture.
Swirl the marshmallow creme gently to keep gooey marshmallow pockets throughout the cookies.
