-
Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy.
-
Add NouBon Spicy Peanut Butter, egg, and vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing until it’s almost all incorporated. Scrape down bowl. Repeat two more times with rest of flour mixture.
-
Form dough into balls that are 1.5–2 tablespoons each. Place 12 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them. Slightly flatten cookies with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
-
Bake for 11–13 minutes or until edges have set.
-
Place baking sheets on wire racks. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer cookies to wire rack and allow to cool completely.
-
Once your cookies are totally cool, it’s frosting time! In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and salt on medium speed until fluffy and smooth. Mix in Greek yoghurt and vanilla.
-
Sift in a third of the confectioners’ sugar, then mix on low until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl. Repeat two more times with rest of confectioners’ sugar.
-
With a silicone spatula, fold in marshmallow creme.
-
Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on 12 of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, gently pressing each cookie sandwich together.
-
To firm up the marshmallow buttercream, chill cookies in fridge for 20 minutes before enjoying.
-
Store any leftover cookies in a sealed container in the fridge.
