Ah, Vermont. We had a great time, and made a great little snack that was composed of ice cream cones stuffed with mini-marshmallows and chocolate chips, wrapped in tinfoil, placed on the grill. Yum! S'more Ice Cream Cones! Yes, of course I overbought and now I have bags of mini-mallows every where. What to do? I turned to Pinterest, and found this little gem of a recipe. Nom nom nom. These cookies are delish!
First things first, here's the link to Marshmallow Stuffed Cookies. The food porn pics of the cookies alone will make you hungry and running to the kitchen for your mixer. These cookies involve little mini-mallows, rolling cookie dough - a perfect activity for little kids. KIDS WILL LOVE THIS! I'm shouting, because I'd like to get the attention of my SisInLaw, so she mimics the recipe in her kitchen and gives me feedback. Or she can loan me her own twin kidlets one day so we can make them here. And make my kitchen a mess. Love it! Love those twin kidlets oodles!
First, note, the mini-marshmallows have to be frozen. Alert! Alert! So if right now you're like, "Hey, I'm gonna eat me some cookies pronto!" you're in trouble. Go grab about sixty mini-marshmallows (I'd say you're safe with half a bag) and throw it in the freezer. They freeze pretty quick.
What should you do while you're waiting? You could read back entries on my blog, like when I talked about shoes, or road a vintage Harley. Yeah. Memories. Or you could just go crazy and post links in my comments section with fancy shoes for me to look at, because I've only bought one pair in three months (wow - record!). You could also get out toothpicks and build little forts with the rest of the bag of the mini-mallows. Gosh, I never did that as a kid. I should do that myself. Just don't let them sit around, because then the ants will come. And we all know how ants ruin our fun.
OK, ok, back to the recipe. Did you find something to do while the mallows freeze? Is it hot where you are, so did you stick your head in the freezer for awhile, or get yourself a cold beverage? Good, good.
This recipe rocked. I just found I didn't need as many mini-marshmallows as listed. No biggie. I also used regular size chocolate chips instead of minis (note last blog entry about being too lazy to go out to Stop n' Shop. Plus I buy chocolate chips in bulk, and currently have about five pounds).
The dough became sticky, but was definitely workable. Just make sure to not dump the flour mixture all in at once. Then you'll have a mess that probably won't resolve itself. Definitely add the flour mixture slowly to the wet mixture. Then all will be well.
When molding the cookies I used an ice cream scoop and scooped out dough, placed three mini-marshmallows at the center, and then gently pressed them in. From there I rolled the dough in a ball to make sure they were completely covered and in the center. Don't press the cookies down when you add the chocolate chips on top; they'll even out naturally.
Yummy bliss.
