Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Beat butter until creamy.
- Add brown, white, and Vanilla sugar and mix until well combined.
- Add egg, vanilla extract, and mix.
- Add flour and salt to mixture and beat until just combined, do not overbeat.
- Roll dough mixture into a ball and put into a large plastic gallon-sized bag. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Once dough is chilled, rough into 1 inch balls and place evenly spaced apart on a cookie sheet that's covered with a silpat or parchment paper.
- Press down lightly to flatten balls into disks.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove and allow to cool completely.
For the Filling:
- While cookies are baking, mix Marshmallow Fluff with vanilla sugar until well combined.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, pipe a dollop of marshmallow mixture onto half of the cookies.
- Top the cookies with the other, pressing down gently, to create a cookie sandwich.
- Place in refrigerator to chill and set for another 30-45 minutes.
For the Chocolate:
- Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave chocolate on medium (5) heat for one minute and stir.
- Continue heating in 30 second increments on medium heat until chocolate is fully melted.
- Either dip cookies in chocolate or pour chocolate over top and set cookies on parchment paper. Once one side of cookies are completely hardened, repeat on the other side.
- Place chocolate covered moon pies in fridge and allow to harden for 30 minutes.
