Christine

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting
  • 1/4 c. butter softened
  • 2 heaping Tbsp. baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • 7 oz. marshmallow creme

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter, peanut butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry mixture to wet and mix until combined.
  • Cover dough and refrigerate for one hour, or until dough is firm. Shape dough into 1 1/4? balls and place about 3? apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet before removing to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • For the frosting/glaze: In the bowl of an electric mixer mix together butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, powdered sugar and milk. Add marshmallow creme and mix. If it's too runny add a little more powdered sugar. If not spreadable enough, add a little more milk. Add a spoonful of frosting onto each cookie, making sure not to overdo it as the frosting will spread as it sets.
