Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 150 grams Mini marshmallows
- 100 grams Raspberry jam
- 200 grams Milk chocolate (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Step 5
Roll the dough out to about 5mm thickness on a floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 6cm in diameter), cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 7
Once cooled, place a small spoonful of raspberry jam onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top the jam with mini marshmallows, slightly pressing them down to adhere.
Step 8
Place the remaining cookies (flat side facing down) on top to create sandwiches. Gently press together to seal.
Step 9
Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently). Stir in the vegetable oil to create a smooth and glossy coating.
Step 10
Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each cookie sandwich entirely in melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 11
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
