Ingredients
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix (one 4-oz box)
10 ounces peanut butter chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes of beating.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant chocolate pudding mix.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and egg mixture, stirring on low speed or by hand until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
Fold in the peanut butter chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly underdone. The cookies will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set properly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Comments
All ingredients are standard grocery-store finds at any Charlotte chain, with instant pudding mix and peanut butter chips readily available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart. Cost per serving runs around 25-30 cents, driven by butter and chocolate pudding mix but kept reasonable by using chips instead of chunks. The 45-minute stated time is honest for mixing and baking, though it doesn't account for cooling, so expect closer to an hour start-to-finish if you want to actually eat them. These are straightforward drop cookies with no special techniques or constant attention needed, making them reliable for a weeknight batch, though the marshmallows soften quickly so they're best eaten the same day or stored airtight.
