Salty Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
12 January 2012
Chocolate and salt. A winner combination of flavors. These cookies with melting marshmallows are rolled in crushed almonds and drizzled with chocolate.
Another Passion4Baking treat. I just had to make these S'mores Cookies the day I saw the recipe up on my favorite blog. And I had a packet of marshmallows in the cabinet which I could finally make use of. These cookies looked yummilicious; almond coated chocolate crust with melting marshmallows inside and I tell you they turned out delicious, I just loved the slightly salty and sweet combination of chocolate and salt (I am weak for salty-sweet stuff). The taste was great and my little brother loved them too, so he ended up eating over half of them! The only thing that did not go right was the marshmallows. They were over-cooked and turned into something hard crispy, but overall they did not ruin the cookies. So next time I will make these cookies without the marshmallows.

Makes about 12 - 15 cookies
I n g r e d i e n t s
100 g all-purpose flour
85 g sugar
40 g cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
106 g butter, softened at room temperature
Filling and coating
1/2 egg white
25 g almonds or hazelnuts, finely chopped
25 g marshmallows, mini
25 g chocolate
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper
1. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix together for about 1-2 minutes
2. Add the soft butter and beat until all the ingredients are well blended and forms like a dough
3. Form a ball, wrap in plastic and let sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes
After 30 minutes
4. Divide the dough in 12-15 equal sized balls (if you want to skip the marshmallows, you can jump to step 6)
5. Flatten each ball and add two to three mini marshmallows in each, wrap around so the dough covers the marshmallows and roll them up as a ball
6. Dip the balls in egg white
7. Roll in the chopped nuts so they cover the ball
8. Have the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet
Bake at 175C in the middle of the oven for about 12-15 minutes (they are supposed to crack open so you can see the melting marshmallows)
Melt the chocolate and drizzle over with a spoon or fork while they are still warm
Mmm.. ready to enjoy!
Chocolatey and salty..
So good!
