Strawberry Marshmallow Fluff Cookies: Best Cookies Ever
A very moreish crisp on the outside, chewy in the middle type of cookie. Strawberry flavoured chocolate chips and gooey strawberry flavoured marshmallow fluff in the middle make these strawberry marshmallow fluff cookies a real crowd pleaser.
This is a complete antidote to my last post for overnight oats. I might like to start my day in a healthy way, but as regular readers will know, I have a sweet tooth and like to indulge it from time to time. I’m not sure I can even claim there are any healthy components to these strawberry Marshmallow Fluff cookies, but my goodness they’re delicious.
Marshmallow Fluff
This was the first time I’d ever tried the iconic American spread, Marshmallow Fluff. It was a favourite of John F Kennedy apparently and was invented as long ago as 1917. Ooey, gooey and very sticky, it was so much nicer than I was expecting it to be.
Granted it’s very sweet, but the strawberry marshmallow fluff transported me straight back to childhood, where as a very occasional special treat, I was allowed strawberry instant whip. Like instant whip, it makes no bones about being natural. It boldly proclaims “artificial strawberry flavour” on the label.
As for the white marshmallow fluff, I’m saving that to top a vegan hot chocolate when I’m feeling particularly decadent. Put it on your cakes, in your cakes or spread it on toast. It can be used for any number of things, not least eating straight from the jar with a teaspoon. In fact I’m having a very hard time, not polishing the whole thing off.
Unlike marshmallows, Marshmallow Fluff does not contain gelatine so it’s vegetarian friendly. Sadly for vegans the ingredients do include egg whites though.
Strawberry Marshmallow Fluff Cookies
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, 26th November, I wanted to make something to celebrate the day. And what could be more American than marshmallow fluff and cookies?
My first thoughts were to make cookies then sandwich them together with the marshmallow fluff. However, in honour of the special occasion, I decided to push the boat out a little and bake cookies with the fluffy stuff already inside.
As it happened, I had a bar of strawberry flavoured chocolate to hand, so that was chipped and tipped into the mix as well. The result is sweet and flavoursome. The cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, just like the genuine American article. I was hoping for a gooey marshmallowy centre, but the chewy one I got was so good, I reckon it would be hard to improve on it.

M is for Marshmallow Fluff, the chosen letter for Alpha Bakes this month. Hosted alternately by The More Than Occasional Baker and Caroline Makes.
This autumn has been pretty miserable so far, so dark and dismal. Sweet treats are definitely needed to perk things up, so I’m sending these strawberry Marshmallow Fluff cookies to Treat Petite where the theme is Autumn. You’ll find it this month at The Baking Explorer, otherwise at CakeyBoi.
This is a commissioned post. Opinions are, as always, my own. Thank you for your support of the brands and organisations that help to keep Tin and Thyme blithe and blogging.
These sound delicious! Strawberry fluff and strawberry chocolate in a cookie? Yes please!! Thanks for entering AlphaBakes. Ps you’ve transported JFk to the future of 2017 to invent these 🙂
Hi Ros, they were totally delicious. Thanks for picking up on my time travelling, no-one else seems to have noticed!
Marshmallow fluff scares me a bit but these look delicious!
I know what you mean Alex, especially as it could become rather addictive.
Those cookies look wonderful. We always used the marshmallow cream for fudge. I’ll have to try it with cookies too.
Ooh goodness, I never thought about fudge Marisa. Just trying to imagine how good that must be.
What a great combination, these cookies sound delicious!
Thanks Joy, they really were rather good 🙂
These sounds so delicious and with Marshmallow fluff it must be tasting heavenly – Quite an addicting cookie 🙂
Thanks Molly. Yes, I think addictive describes them quite well 🙂
I have never tried fluff, I always wanted to when I was a kid though 🙂 My husband would love these – he is a huge fan of strawberry flavoured everything, this would be right up his alley!
Thanks Donna. I’d never tried it until now either – not sure what my excuse is!
just coming back to these cookies…. they are stupendous. Am making them today… will report back!
Ooh, how exciting. Crossing fingers, they go OK Dom.
Ooh – nice idea! I bet the texture is amazing
Thanks CC. I was hoping for the fluff to remain fluffy inside, but the chewiness I actually got was pretty good anyway.
These sound really yummy. I’ve never had a cookie with fluff in the center before. How fun!
Thanks Rachel, these cookies really are fun but also quite delicious 🙂
Marshmallows and cookies! I have never thought of that before, what a great idea!
Thanks Neli, I have to say I was rather pleased with myself 😉
I’ve had the vanilla fluff before and never thought of putting it in cookies, great idea! Thanks for entering into Treat Petite.
I bet you’ve done something interesting with it Kat – or did you just eat the whole thing with a spoon? 😉
I’ve put it on pancakes, but yes I must say it is rather nice served straight on a spoon!! 🙂
Ooh on pancakes Kat, now there’s an idea 🙂
never imagined this goodie was possible. yummmmmmmy!
Haha Claudia – always imagine the impossible 😉
These look ludicrously good! They remind me of the pillow cookies sold at my local Fresh Market.
I’ve not heard of pillow cookies Leisel, but they sound good 🙂
Like Alida, I have a secret addiction to marshmallows (ssshhhh…. don’t tell my husband…. I wait until he goes to bed or is away and then sit with a large bag and munch….). My daughter loves the fluff…. I find it a bit sweet and over-sticky on its own (despite my love of the soft squelchy sweet variety), but I could definitely find a place for it in cookies!!!! These sound very naughty and very yummy…. love the fact that they are soft and chewy. Reckon they might work with a straight substitution of GF flour…. what do you think?
Haha Kate, I’m picturing you hiding the bag now 😉 I have to say this marshmallow fluff is very sweet, as are the cookies, but sometimes sweet is OK. I don’t see why they wouldn’t work with GF flour, but I think you’d know better than me.
I have a secret addiction to marshmallows. I didn’t grow up with them and only discovered them later in life but.. it was love at first sight! There is something about them that’s irresistible! Love your recipe, bookmarking, thanks!
Thanks Alida. I think I fell in love with marshmallows when we were travelling in NZ, many years ago no. We attended a party, where the main fun was toasting marshmallows outside over a fire – I was in heaven.
These look awesome Choclette, must get some of this fluff:-)
Thanks Camilla, it’s definitely worth getting to have a bit of a play – it’s fun 🙂
I think it’s interesting that marshmallows and marshmallow fluff are always in the American section of the grocery. It wasn’t something we ate a lot of when I was growing up in Maryland, except the occasional s’more. Maybe it’s popularity is a regional thing(?) It is good, in a weird way. I love the little bits of fluff peeking out of your cookies.
Thanks Lydia. That’s interesting, we think of it as being soooo American.
I have never ever even heard of the concept of marshmallow fluff – and now all I am thinking about is I need to try some. Yum cookies too.
It seems we are both behind the times in this respect Bintu 😉
Wow, never considered fluff as a baking ingredient, I’ve only had it on sandwiches when I was a little kid. Theses look absolutely scrumptious!
Thanks Michelle. Fluff is new to me, I’ve never had it on bread. It did work very well in these cookies though.
How fun! I’ve really only every used fluff for fudge. But I bet it’s fabulous for cookies!
Oh fluffy fudge, now that does sound interesting Whitney.
Literally about to lick the screen as these cookies look and sound amazing! What an awesome idea and they’d go great with hot chocolate right about now!
Haha, thanks Jessica. You’re the second one to pair these cookies with hot chocolate – it’s now got to be done 😉
What an interesting recipe…in a good way! I wouldn’t have thought of this combination when planning a cookie, but I can really see how it would be delicious. I’ve never tried strawberry marshmallow fluff, so I’m going to be on the lookout for it in stores. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kathrina. Because fluff was new to me, I didn’t have any concept of what’s normally done with it, which I guess is quite liberating in some ways.
These sounds lovely. I’ve always wanted to try Fluff, but never get round to it, must chnge that!
It was a first for me Jemma – very sweet, but well worth trying.
I haven’t tried the strawberry flavour yet, must remedy that ASAP. Will be adding some to my hot chocolate and these cookies would go very well!
Ah yes Lucy, I haven’t tried it, but I reckon you are right and one of these cookies would be a perfect accompaniment to hot chocolate 🙂
These look fantastic. I’d never considered adding marshmallow fluff to a biscuit batter. Now I want to try the strawberry version as I’ve only tasted the plain.
All I can say about the strawberry version Jo, is that the jar is now empty 😉
The strawberry marshmallow fluff is such an interesting addition. Wish I could have one with my tea now.
Thanks Angie. Really, they should come with a mega “sweet” warning, but they are very nice 🙂
I’ve always been a bit scared of the sugar content of marshmallow fluff but these sound so delicious… just one wouldn’t hurt, would it? 🙂
It is super sweet stuff Helen, so definitely not something for every day, but as an occasional treat? Mmmm!
sounds lovely. I’ve only used marshmallow fluff in buttercream type fillings before but will give this a go!
It was new to me in any way shape or form Roz – so naughty, but so nice!
You always bake the best cookies Choclette! I really want to try and make my own marshmallow fluff
Thanks Diana, what a lovely thing to say. I’d like to have a go at making my own too.
Mmm these look delicious! I love marshmallow fluff but never thought of putting it in cookies – will have to try!
Marshmallow Fluff was a first for me Sophie, I loved it on its own and in the cookies 😉
