Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Any mini chocolate candy: Reeses peanut butter cups Rolos or Snickers Peanut Butter Squares
  • Melted Nutella if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease your mini muffin tin.
  • In medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, mix together the softened butter and both sugars until light, smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla until fully combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Using your hands, roll the cookie dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place them in the mini-muffin pan and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown but not too dark around the edges.
  • When finished, remove them from the oven and let sit for about 2 minutes. Using a small spoon or butter knife, make little wells in each cookie muffin and place your desired chocolate inside and press down gently.
  • Alternatively, you can place a couple mini marshmallows inside and then place your chocolate candy inside and press down gently. Then, as it starts to melt a little, place a few mini marshmallows on top to stick to the chocolate.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan and gently remove using your hands or a fork. Drizzle with melted Nutella if desired and serve.
