Surprise Cookies
Super easy to whip up and a cute little cookie. Colton was so excited to find a marshmellow in the middle of his cookie!
Cookies
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, room temp
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk ( I used buttermilk)
1 tsp vanilla
15 large marshmellows, halved crosswise
Frosting
3 cups icing sugar
6 tbsp butter, room temp
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp whole ( I used buttermilk)
3/4 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make cookies: sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into bowl.
Put butter and sugar into medium bowl and mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; mix egg, milk and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until combined.
Using cookie scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2-inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately press a marshmellow half on top of each cookie. Bake until marshmellows begin to melt, 2 minutes or more. Let cool completely on wire rack.
Make frosting: Put icing sugar in medium bowl. Melt butter with cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add butter mixture to icing sugar. Whick in milk and vanilla.
Spread about 1 tbsp of frosting on top of each cooled cookie, enough to cover marshmellow. Let stand until set, about 10 minutes. Cookies can be stored in a single layer in airtight container at room temp for 2 days. Freezes well.
those look yummy!
