Ingredients

  • Chocolate Cookies
  • 16 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • pinch cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Marshmallow Filling
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • 1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2) In a microwave safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate and butter until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, eggs and vanilla. Whisk in melted chocolate mixture. Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper (if using) and both semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, just until flour disappears. Drop the dough by tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake 9 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Remove from oven and cool before filling.
  • 3) For the marshmallow filling, using an electric mixer, beat the marshmallow fluff and shortening until smooth. Add the icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract, beating for 1 minute until fluffy. Spread filling on the bottom of a cookie and top with another cookie.
