These peanut butter cookies are amazing. The dough bakes up so soft and has 3 types of chocolate chips: semisweet, milk and mini! The best part, of course, is the ooey gooey marshmallow center. The key is to freeze your mini marshmallows prior to baking them. This keeps them nice and gooey through the baking and the cooling!
