Here they are before dipping them into the chocolate!
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup pure dark chocolate chips or semisweet chips
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
+Enough chocolate to allow for dipping the finished product
--------------------------
1. Cream the butter and sugars together with the paddle attachment of your mixer. Add the salt, egg, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Melt the chips, add them to the mixture, and combine.
2. Add the flour and baking soda and beat until combined.
3. Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes to firm up slightly.
4. Divide the dough into two portions. Using wax paper, roll each portion into logs 1 3/4-inches in diameter. Refrigerate for two hours or until firm.
5. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cut cookies into slices just thicker than 3/8 inch. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake 12 minutes or until the cookies are done. Cool on a wire rack.
For the filling:
• 2 cups marshmallow cream
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, beat the ingredients until fluffy.
Spread the filling on half of the cookies and top with remaining cookies. Allow to set (about 1/2 hour) and, using a fork or candy dipper, immerse each cookie into the melted dipping chocolate. Ensure the cookie is entirely coated with a thin layer of chocolate. Allow excess to drain and place on a wax sheet to dry.
Note: Have fun with this recipe. Use your favorite jam instead of the marshmallow filling. Or flavor the filling with cherry, banana, lemon extracts, or other favorite. Or use peanut butter instead. Or serve with ice cream on top!
