It’s the most wonderful time of the year, my friends!
I don’t know about you, but Christmas cookie season is my jam. I’m all about it and I can not be stopped when it comes to both baking and eating all manner of cookies this time of year!
That’s why I teamed up with Pillsbury to bring you this super simple recipe that puts a fun little spin on a traditional peanut butter cookie! We’re talking about fluffernutter bars, baby. These bars are super easy, because they start with a roll of Pillsbury refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough. I love shortcuts during the busiest time of the year, don’t you?
Pillsbury is just as excited as we are for cookies! They’ve created the Cookie Countdown as a delicious way to countdown the days until Christmas. Count me in! You can check the page daily for a new cookie recipe or sign up to have them delivered straight to your inbox.
The Cookie Countdown is off to a good start with some of my friends, too. Check out the below recipes over on some popular food blogs to see what they’ve been counting down so far!

Personally, I’m feeling pretty ready for some cookies right about now. 🙂
I think you’re going to love these Fluffernutter Bars! The base is a simple mixture of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough, mixed with just a bit of extra flour, and lots of those mini Reese’s peanut butter cups! After that bakes up for a bit, you’ll dollop some marshmallow fluff right on top and then top it with some more of your cookie dough. How good does that sound?
These things smell so good while baking, too! My kids kept wandering into the kitchen to ask when they could have a cookie!
They bake up soft and chewy with plenty of gooey melty marshmallow oozing out. You’re going to love these!

Wanted to try this recipe. It looks so good. But I have an egg allergy and marshmallow fluff is made with egg whites.

Has anyone actually made these? The oroginal recipe ingredients calls for flour but when you click the link it doesn’t call for flour.
Karly says
I believe that Pillsbury has a new recipe for their tubes of cookie dough, so that could be the issue. I would go ahead and follow what the Pillsbury website says.

Wendy says
I love the flavor of fluffernutter best on a spoon. 🙂 Marshmallow fluff on bread was never my favorite. However, marshmallow fluff on a peanut butter cookie sounds fabulous! What a great, quick recipe!
Julie Evink says
Uhhhh four ingredients to these babies?! You speak my love language girl! YUM!
Allison // ALWAYS EAT DESSERT says
Fluffernutter sandwiches are one of my favorite childhood treats (though I still enjoy the occasional fluffernutter today) and always remind me of summer vacation with my cousins. These bars look delicious and are a great grown-up alternative to eating peanut butter and fluff for lunch!
