2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) cocoa powder
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
8 tablespoon(s) butter, unsalted, room temperature
1/2 cup(s) peanut butter, creamy
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
2 x large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup(s) milk
30 large marshmallows, halved crosswise
FROSTING:
4 1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
9 tablespoon(s) butter, unsalted, room temperature
1/2 cup(s) cocoa powder
1/2 cup(s) hot water
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoon(s) nonparells (round assorted colored sprinkles)

Steps:

  • COOKIES: Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder & salt in a bowl. Using a stand mixer with paddle, beat butter, peanut butter & sugar on medium high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. One at a time, add eggs & beat until combined. Add vanilla & beat until combined. Reduce speed to low & add flour mixture slowly, alternating with milk additions, scraping bowl down as needed. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 1 hour.
  • Adjust oven racks to upper middle & lower middle positions & preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat (silicone liners). Using 1/2 of the dough using a small ice cream scooper (or 2 spoons), roll into balls & space them 2" apart on prepared sheets. Bake until edges appear dry, about 8 - 10 minutes, switching & rotating sheet halfway through baking time. Remove cookies from oven & press 1 marshmallow 1/2 into center of each cookie. Return to oven & bake another 2 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Trasfer to wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough & marshmallows.
  • FROSTING: Whisk sugar, butter, cocoa, water & extract in bowl until smooth. Working 1 cookie at a time, spread 1 heaping tsp frosting over top of each cookie, covering marshmallow completely. Sprinkle nonparells on top of cookies & let sit 1 hour before serving.
