Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup cold butter
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups flour all purpose or gluten free
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 5 large marshmallows cut in half
  • frosting to decorate

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and sugar. Mix on high for 2 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
  3. Then, add in vanilla and egg yolks. Mix to combine.
  4. Add in baking soda and flour. Stir to combine. Batter will be thick.
  5. Roll dough into 10 equal sized balls. Place at least 3 inches apart on baking pan. Do this in two batches.
  6. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are set and middles still look soft.
  7. Remove pan from oven. Allow cookies to fully cool before icing and decorating.
  8. Once cookies are cooled, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
  9. Spread icing on top of cooled cookies. Top with half of a large marshmallow. Decorate as you wish.

Notes

  • Use cold butter right from the fridge.  Do not use softened or melted butter.
  • Beat the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, until creamy.
  • This recipe will not work mixed by hand.  An electric hand mixer or stand mixer is vital.
  • Use 2 egg yolks, not the whole egg.
  • The dough will be somewhat thick.
  • Do not over bake.  The cookies will slightly firm up once cooled.
  • Making icing once cookies have completely cooled.
  • You may need to add a little more powdered sugar or more milk to achieve creamy consistency.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Do not freeze cookies.
