I made these beauties this week and they were amazing. They do take a little longer to make than your average cookie. Start to finish (minus dishes and with Maddison's "help") I think they took me about an hour and a half. I have altered the original recipe because the cookie /mallow/frosting ratio was way WAY off. I had more mallow than I could use in a life time! Even with the changes, you will still have plenty of mallow to work with. They are very rich so have some milk near by when you dive in.
Original Recipe Found Here : A Bountiful Kitchen
Brownie Cookies (makes about 28)
1 cup butter
1 2/3 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 ¼ teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 1/3 cups cake flour (I used regular)
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended well. Add dry ingredients and mix. Cookies can be rolled, formed into drop cookies, or pressed into a 9 x 13 pan (double recipes and bake time). Roll and form cookies and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cookies are done when top is slightly cracked and no longer looks wet. I smooshed them down a little when I pulled them out of the oven so they would have a nice flat surface for the toppings.
Marshmallow Creme
1 egg white
2/3 cups light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/3 tablespoon vanilla
Combine egg whites, corn syrup, and salt. Beat on high speed for 10 minutes (maybe less with this smaller batch) or until thick. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until blended. Add vanilla and blend. May be frozen for later use.
Chocolate Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1 cups powdered sugar
milk
1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Beat soft butter, cocoa, and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add a splash of milk and vanilla, blend well.
Assembly:
Spread cooled cookies with about 1 tablespoon of marshmallow creme. I probably put less than a tablespoon but regret it so don't be shy. Top the creme with frosting. I ended up putting the frosting in a zip lock, cutting a hole in the corner, and piping it onto the cookie. Spreading it onto the sticky mallow sounded too hard.
