Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- Icing optional
- tubes of icing for decorating optional
- muffin tin liners
Stuffing
- ½ brick (4 oz) cream cheese, softened adjust amount to taste
- ½ cup marshmallow crème adjust amount to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with 10 liners. Set aside.
- Get out your ingredients and pick your stuffing. These cookies are terrific.
- In a large bowl combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer blend sugar and butter until creamy.
- Add egg and vanilla.
- Reduce speed and add flour mixture until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of your bowl as needed.
- In a medium sized bowl combine marshmallow crème and cream cheese. We usually use our handheld mixer to whip the creams together! We leave this up to you.
- Taste the mixture. If you want to taste more cream cheese, add a little more or if you want more of a marshmallow taste, add more marshmallow. Set aside.
- Divide your dough into 10 piles and roll them into balls.
- Lightly flour your work surface.
- Press dough down into a flat circle or disc and press your thumb down into the center of the disc.
- Using a tea spoon place a tablespoon or so of the marshmallow mixture into the center of each disc and surround with the dough.
- Pinch edges to seal the marshmallow filling inside your ball.
- Roll until your ball is smooth and place in an individual muffin pan liner.
- Repeat until all of the dough is used.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- The top of your cookie cups will still be a little shiny.
- Leave cookie cups to cool completely in your muffin pan.
- Then transfer each cup on to a wire rack.
- Once cool you can spread icing on top of each of the cookie cups or just decorate them. We leave the decision up to you!
- Serve and enjoy!
