Marshmallow Dream Cookies are rich chocolate cookies topped with fluffy marshmallow buttercream and a swirl of melted semi-sweet chocolate for a perfect blend of texture and flavor.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup shortening

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for buttercream)

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (for buttercream)

1 pinch kosher salt (for buttercream)

2 cups confectioners' sugar

¾ cup marshmallow fluff or creme

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten each dough ball to about ¼ to ½ inch thickness.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack.
  9. To prepare buttercream, beat softened butter until creamy. Add vanilla extract and salt; mix well.
  10. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Fold in marshmallow fluff until fully incorporated.
  11. Once cookies are completely cooled, pipe or spread about 2 tablespoons of marshmallow buttercream onto each cookie.
  12. Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the buttercream in a swirl pattern.
  13. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

  • Chill dough before baking to reduce spreading.
  • Use Dutch-processed cocoa for richer flavor.
  • Store unfrosted cookies in freezer and frost after thawing.
  • Buttercream can be stored in refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Piping bag is optional for buttercream application.
