1

120g butter, softened

120g peanut butter

100g light brown sugar

50g caster sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

200g plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Pinch of salt

100g marshmallows

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark

Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients until fully combined. Fold in the marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, form small balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking trays about 5cm apart from each other as they will spread during cooking. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle. Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
