Tools Needed to Perfect Your Marshmallow Cookies:

How To Make Marshmallow Cookies:
Embark on an exquisite journey of taste, where the tantalizing aroma of chocolate mingles with the sugary goodness of freshly baked cookies.
Start off by cranking your oven to 400F. Concurrently, whisk your soft butter with the duo of brown and white sugars.
Once a rich, creamy texture emerges, and the mix appears lighter in color and airy, mix in the egg and a splash of vanilla.
Separately, combine the following dry elements: cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and flour. Gently introduce this dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir until just combined, ensuring the dough is slightly tacky but manageable, especially with a touch of flour on your hands.
Now for the enchanting bit – gather roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, flatten, and nestle a half-marshmallow right in the middle, sealing it within. If the dough feels a little to sticky, powder your hands with a dusting of flour.
Coat each dough sphere in sugar, arrange them on your readied baking tray, spacing them out. You can typically fit about 9 cookies per sheet. A 5 to 6-minute bake will suffice until tiny fissures appear on the cookies’ base. Let them rest for a bit post-baking, and there you have it – irresistible Marshmallow Cookies awaiting your indulgence.
Marshmallow Cookies: FAQs
Can I incorporate homemade marshmallows?
Of course! This recipe shines with homemade marshmallows. Explore my Mint Marshmallow Recipe. Alternatively, play around with vanilla, strawberry, or even chocolate marshmallows for an exciting variation.
My cookies flattened and the marshmallow vanished. Why?
Oops! It sounds like your cookies lingered in the oven a tad too long, causing the marshmallow to melt away. Stick to the recommended 5-6 minute duration and monitor them closely. They’re set once you spot tiny cracks and they begin to spread.
Is it possible to freeze the dough and bake later?
Absolutely! Shape the dough into spheres minus the marshmallow, freeze on a tray, and then stash them in a freezer bag. When the craving hits, thaw, pop in a marshmallow, roll in sugar, and bake. If baking from cold, add about 30 seconds more.
Storage Tips for Cookies:
Seal the cookies in an airtight container, keeping them at room temperature. They’ll retain their freshness for roughly 5 days. For extended freshness, consider freezing them post-cooling. Just lay them out on a tray to freeze before tucking them into an airtight box or freezer bag.
