The Adams' Fluffernutter Cookies


The Adams, Matty and Marisa, are some friends from middle/high school. They are high school sweethearts, they even won best couple in our graduating class. And when they got married this past July they proved to everybody that they deserved the title of best couple!!! (Not to mention that their reception was a blast with ALL music from the 90s so needless to say I had A LOT of fun!!!) Matty and Marisa are both extremely caring and thoughtful people and are always there if you need them. Although we have drifted apart a little over the past few years, I still consider them great friends. I know that if I ever need them they are there for me, and I hope they know the same about me!!! Now I have to explain the cookies a little… I was just stumbling through some recipes on-line and I came across these ones and knew they would be perfect for The Adams (still feels a little weird to say that lol). The reason being that every year Matty still has a HUGE birthday party with bounce houses, games, and food we loved as kids- including Fluffernutter Sandwiches. (Peanut Butter and Fluff for those of you who don’t know what they are, although shame on you for not knowing!!!) So when I saw a recipe for a Fluffernutter cookie I had to make these cookies for them… here’s hoping they enjoy them!!!!


Fluffernutter Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 jar Fluff (marshmallow cream)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the salt and baking soda. Stir until mixed together.
5. Spoon dough into balls, about 1 Tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place the cookie dough balls on the greased baking sheets, about two inches apart.
6. With your thumb, press down the dough ball to make a puddle in the middle of each cookie. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove baking sheets from the oven. Press down the cookies with your thumb again. Do this quickly because the cookies will be hot (really hot apparently- ouch!!!!!!!). Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes.
7. Move cookies to a wire rack and cool. Once cool, take a spoonful of Fluff (marshmallow cream) and fill the center of the peanut butter cookies. The Fluff (marshmallow cream) will be sticky, but try to smooth it out as best as you can. Fill all of the cookies and serve.
