The Realtor's Homemade Mallowmars- Copycat Recipe

"I make these for Christmas and other special holidays. It seems like there are a lot of steps but this is actually a super easy recipe. These yummy cookies bring a smile to everyone's face. I usually sprinkle them with multi-colored sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet for a little extra color. If you don't want to make your own marshmallows, you can just use a bag of ready made marshmallows in white or fun assorted colors. That's what I do sometimes. You can use whatever flavor of chocolate that you like. Semi-sweet will give a more authentic flavor but I like milk chocolate and my daughter likes dark chocolate. Using high quality chocolate will take these to a whole new level. Whatever you use, they'll be great. You can even use white chocolate if you like. Note: chilling time for the dough is not included in the prep time given so be sure to allow enough time for chilling."

directions

  • To make the dough:

  • Place all of the dry ingredients into a mixer bowl and mix together with the paddle attachment.
  • Add butter, mix on low speed until coarse crumbs form.
  • Add eggs, mix to combine.
  • Carefully form dough into a disk shape between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. I squash it out pretty flat at this point so there will be less rolling out later on.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to a couple of days.
  • To bake, pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F and.
  • line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Use round biscuit cutter to cut out small circless of dough about 1 1/2 inches across.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan and bake until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • *Note: These cookies don't really spread so you can put them close together- 24 to a sheet.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • If using the homemade marshmallows, make them now and pipe a small kiss of marshmallow onto each cookie. If not, just move on to the next step.
  • Let set at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • To make the marshmallows:

  • Combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil until soft-ball stage, or 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let dissolve.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat, add the gelatin, and mix.
  • Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form and slowly pour the syrup into the whites with the mixer running the whole time. Add the vanilla and continue whipping until stiff. Transfer the marshmallow to a pastry bag. This is a messy pain but it's so worth it.
  • If you're using store bought marshmallows, place one on each cookie base.
  • Carefully, heat them marshmallow topped cookies in a preheated 350-degree oven to slump the marshmallow slightly, it will expand and brown a little. Watch them closely because some of the marshmallows may try to fall off the side and you have to quickly push them back up on top.
  • Let cool completely, then dip into the chocolate glaze.
  • To dip the cookies in the chocolate glaze:

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment. The parchment will allow you to peel the cookies off easily when the chocolate dries.
  • Melt the 2 ingredients together in the top of a double boiler or a bowl set over barely simmering water.
  • Gently drop the marshmallow-topped cookies into the hot chocolate, one at a time. I just plop them in (marshmallow down), push them over with a fork (marshmallow up now) and lift them out with a fork. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  • Place on the prepared cookie sheet and let set at room temperature until the coating is firm, about 1 to 2 hours. You can refrigerate them if you want them fast and they will be ready in 20 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a full-time Realtor for Century 21 Graham Realty during the day and at night I'm a wife and mother of one 6 year old daughter, Angelina plus one small dorkie dog (dachshund-yorkie mix) named Petey. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I've been collecting cookbooks (I have a few hundred) and recipes for as long as I can remember. I like to buy recipe boxes at yard sales and auctions and peak through them for yummy recipe gems. I've found some really amazing recipes that way. I'm a huge fan of Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware. I've been collecting different pieces for a few years now. I always considered myself a great cook but these pans raise things to a whole new level. I'm planning to post all of my favorite recipes that I've collected over the years. I have all these clippings and pieces of paper and magazine clips that are everywhere. My recipe boxes are packed with these things and it's time to organize the whole mess. I suppose it will take years (did I say years?!?) to get them all posted but it's worth it. So keep checking back to my posts for new goodies. I can't wait to see what long lost gems turn up. I've already run across several of my old favs. Isn't it nice to have all your best recipes all organized right here? I've also been printing them out and putting them in a nice new binder where I can actually find them when I want to make them. I LOVE this site. I have found some of the best recipes EVER right here on 'Zaar. There are some fantastic cooks here and I just want to say "Thank you" to all of you who have made me look like the greatest cook on the planet with your wonderful recipes. I try to make as many new ones each week as I can. It's so much fun experimenting. My DH of 9 years is my guinea pig- he will eat ANYTHING I put in front of him. My little girl... well, she's more of a challenge to please. Not really picky but she doesn't really like meat or stuffing or peppers or mushrooms or.... oh, the new one is onions. I could go on but you get the idea. You probably have or had one just like her. They seem to learn all about these things that they don't like at school. All of the sudden...they don't like something they've been eating for 3 years because their friend "Alyssa" doesn't like it. What a challenge it is feeding these little creatures! That's her and Petey in the picture above. <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/soup_banner.jpg"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/holidaybadge.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/potluckpbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7505/mybanner4a394ee84d5f0.jpg" ><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/ZaarStar-AMBanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/holidayprmr.jpg"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y22/dcmac/PAC%20Fall%2009/Image1.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><IMG src ="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/cupwitchanimation-small3.gif"> <img src ="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picwJT0Wr-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/AMBadgeGenTP2009.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
