Рецепт The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap.. my Recipe
This year I made Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups to share with my fellow swappers and they were a hit :) So much so that these will be going on the cookie platters I bring to friends and family this year. I shipped all my cookies with some vanilla bean marshmallows too... ya know, for packing material ;)
Basically these are a sugar cookie cup filled with a homemade chocolate marshmallow and topped off with a vanilla candy wafer.
Cookies:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- marshmallows - regular, chocolate or homemade in my case :)
vanilla candy wafers
Directions
Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a second large bowl and mix well. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture 1 cup at a time. Chill the dough for 3 to 4 hours.
Here is where I deviated from the original recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the dough into 1" balls and place each ball into the well of a mini muffin tin. Press a well into each ball with your fingers (or do like me and use the rounded end of a citrus reamer)
Bake until the cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges, 8-10 minutes.
While the cookies are in the oven cut the marshmallows up. If you're using a store bought marshmallow you're going to probably use half a regular sized marshmallow or two mini. If you're using a homemade marshmallow I used about 1/8 of mine (I made them pretty big).
When the cookies come out of the oven put the marshmallows in the cups right away and top with a candy wafer.
