This is like having hot chocolate in a cookie. These adorable cookies are filled with marshmallow creme to make them taste even more authentic. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup ground almonds |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/4 cups marshmallow creme |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, ground almonds, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/16-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. gingerbread man cookie cutter. Using a floured 3/4-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut a heart from half of the cookies.
3. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Spread the bottom of each solid cookie with 1 tablespoon marshmallow creme; gently place cutout cookies over creme. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 20 cookies.
