Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini marshmallows
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
Extra butterscotch chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and butterscotch chips using a spatula. Do not overmix.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into balls, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press extra butterscotch chips on top if desired.
6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are soft.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Avoid using natural peanut butter—it can make the dough oily and affect the cookie structure.
For best results, slightly underbake and let cookies set on the sheet for ultimate chewiness.
Freeze extra dough balls to bake fresh cookies on demand anytime.
