Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cold butter
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ cups flour, all purpose or gluten free
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 5 large marshmallows, cut in half
- frosting, to decorate
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and sugar. Mix on high for 2 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in vanilla and egg yolks. Mix to combine.
- Add in baking soda and flour. Stir to combine. Batter will be thick.
- Roll dough into 10 equal sized balls. Place at least 3 inches apart on baking pan. Do this in two batches.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are set and middles still look soft.
- Remove pan from oven. Allow cookies to fully cool before icing and decorating.
- Once cookies are cooled, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
- Spread icing on top of cooled cookies. Top with half of a large marshmallow. Decorate as you wish.
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use softened or melted butter.
- Beat the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, until creamy.
- This recipe will not work mixed by hand. An electric hand mixer or stand mixer is vital.
- Use 2 egg yolks, not the whole egg.
- The dough will be somewhat thick.
- Do not over bake. The cookies will slightly firm up once cooled.
- Making icing once cookies have completely cooled.
- You may need to add a little more powdered sugar or more milk to achieve creamy consistency.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Do not freeze cookies.
