Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 large marshmallows cut in half
Chocolate Icing
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cups hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- In a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring frequently. Once melted, set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- In a standing mixer, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla on low speed until combined. Add the cooled chocolate and mix until combined.
- Gradually add in the flour ingredients and mix until combined.
- Scoop the dough (will be brownie like texture) into a bowl and cover with foil and place into the fridge for 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, add some batter into your hands and roll into a ball.
- Place cookies about 2 inches apart and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes.
- While cookies are baking, cut the marshmallows in half.
- Once cookies are baked, place a marshmallow into the center of the cookies and lightly press down. Place cookies back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes.
- Place a wire rack over another cookie sheet. Once cookies are done baking let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack while you make the icing.
Make the Icing
- Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix until combined. If the icing is still to thick, add about 3 Tablespoons of hot water to it to thin it out.
- Using a spoon, spoon some icing onto the marshmallow on the cookie.
- Repeat step number 3 onto a few more cookies.
Decorate
- Sprinkle a little bit of sprinkles onto the cookies.
- Repeat the last two steps onto the remaining cookies. Remember to only put icing onto a few cookies at a time because the icing will dry fast.
- Once all the cookies have icing and sprinkles ENJOY!
