Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: American
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp espresso powder (if you don’t want this you can eliminate it)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ¾ cup heavy cream 35% fat
- 280 gr. / 1 bag (10 10 ½ oz.) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup caster sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- First we make the filling because it needs chilling.
- In a saucepan put everything except the vanilla extract.
- Simmer gently and stir until the marshmallows are melted.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Pour the filling in a bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until it is chilled.
- Preheat oven to 175° C/ 350° F.
- In a mixer beat the butter, sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla extract.
- Add the egg and continue the beating.
- Throw the cocoa and stir.
- Now add the flour alternately with the milk and continue stirring at medium/low speed.
- Once everything is incorporated, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl so as any pastry ingredients will be fully incorporated to the mix.
- Take a baking sheet and cover with parchment paper.
- Drop the dough by a tablespoonful onto the sheet.
- You can use a tablespoon cookie scoop either.
- You must leave about 2,5 cm/ 1 in. between the cookies as they’ll spread.
- I made 32 cookies which make 16 whoopies.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until they become just firm.
- Remove and let them cool.
- As the cookies cool down, take the filling out of the fridge and put it again in the mixer bowl.
- Beat in medium speed for 10 to 15 seconds to give it a smooth texture.
- Take one cookie, spread a scant spoonful of the filling and top it with another cookie.
- Press gently and it is all set.
