In a mixing bowl cream together butter and sugars.
Add in egg and vanilla, mix again.
Add in peanut butter and mix again to combine until smooth.
In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to peanut butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
Scoop the dough using a medium sized cookie scoop or 2 rounded tablespoons. Flatten the dough a little bit and place half of a marshmallow into the center.
Fold the dough up and over the top of the marshmallow. If needed grab a teaspoon more of dough to get it fully wrapped.
Round out the dough ball in your hands before placing the dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.
Let cookies cool completely on the sheet for before transferring to a wire cooling rack. It helps to use a greased spatula for lifting the cookies.
