Chocolate Marshmallow Cutouts
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
YIELD: about 2 dozen.
I make rich, fudgy cookies that taste like brownies with a marshmallow filling. I usually use heart-shaped cutters, but I've also left them uncut and filled with pink marshmallow creme.—Kelly Ward, Stratford, Ontario
Ingredients
-
1-1/4 cups butter, softened
-
2 cups sugar
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup baking cocoa
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until firm enough to shape.
-
2.
Preheat oven to 350°. Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until cookies are set, 6-8 minutes. Using a 1-1/4-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter, score the center of half the cookies. Cool completely on pans on wire racks.

3.
Using the same heart-shaped cookie cutter, gently cut scored cookie tops and remove the center of each. Spread marshmallow creme over the bottom of the solid cookies; cover with remaining cookies.
