If you’re hoping for a Little Debbie copycat cookie recipe, this is not it. That said, these are more like peanut butter oatmeal cookies. If you like a more traditional oatmeal cookie, omit the peanut butter. Even if you leave in the pb, I would definitely lower the amount to 1/4 cup AND increase the vanilla to 2 tsp. Also, the filling recipe makes waaaaay too much. You should half it. Make sure you squish your cookies down and flatten them before baking or else you will end up with too round cookies that will not sit right and the marshmallow filling will run. This is a messy recipe - be prepared!
Cookies were very good. I really liked the addition of the peanut butter. But I think the recipe needs a small amount of proofing. I do not work with marshmallow creme often. I read the recipe as a 17 ounce jar. It took me a little research and rereading to read it as one seven ounce jar. The recipe is written correctly but an easy mistake for a novice cook. I used a tablespoon scoop instead of teaspoon and ended up with 19 completed cookies. But again a very successful cookie.
Just found this recipe. So excited because these were one of my favorites growing up. Hope they taste as good as they look.
