... Read moreIf you're looking to elevate your dessert game, Peanut Butter S’mores Sandwich Cookies are a fantastic treat that bring together a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The combination of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough with melted Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and golden toasted marshmallows creates an irresistible gooey, chocolatey, peanut-buttery experience.
When baking the cookie dough, be sure to flatten each ball slightly with a fork to create that iconic criss-cross pattern, which not only looks great but helps the cookies bake evenly. Baking at 350°F for 10–12 minutes ensures a perfect golden brown crust while keeping the inside soft and chewy.
For the filling, breaking the Hershey’s bar into squares allows the chocolate to melt smoothly, melding perfectly with the toasted marshmallows. Toasting marshmallows can be done in various ways – over an open flame for a smoky flavor, in the oven for convenience, or even the microwave for quick melty goodness. Each method gives a slightly different texture and taste, so you can experiment to find your favorite.
To assemble, placing the warm marshmallow on top of the chocolate square and sandwiching it between two peanut butter cookies lets the chocolate soften perfectly from the heat of the marshmallow. Serving the sandwich warm guarantees that gooey s’mores magic.
This dessert not only satisfies a sweet tooth but also offers an engaging, fun activity to do with friends or family, turning traditional s’mores into a portable and easy-to-eat cookie sandwich. Plus, using store-bought cookie dough speeds up preparation, making these treats accessible even on busy days.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top to enhance the peanut butter and chocolate flavors or mixing in some chopped nuts into the dough for an added crunch. This recipe is versatile and can be a hit at parties, family gatherings, or cozy nights in.
