I created this chocolate chip cookie s’mores cups idea because I don’t like the mess of s’mores but love the classic flavour combination. Homemade marshmallow filling inside a chocolate chip cookie cup to still get the classic flavours without the clean up. These are great if you are looking for recipe for farmers markets as the cookie can be at room temperature and the marshmallow isn’t made with egg whites.
Is Marshmallow Hard to Make?
This marshmallow recipe is easy with no egg whites. The trick to making marshmallow is first getting the sugar syrup to the correct temperature and second is to not over whip the marshmallow. If you over whip the marshmallow it will be to tough and chewy to pipe. That is why you must keep an eye on it while it is whipping so that a soon as it reaches stiff peak you stop it.
Step 1 Chocolate Chip Cookie
Cream the butter and sugar together. Then and the egg.
Step 2 Chocolate Chip Cookie
Add the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until just combined then at the chopped dark chocolate. Chill dough for 1 hour.
Step 3 Chocolate Chip Cookie
Roll into 250g balls and press the sides forming a cavity. Bake at 180c for 12 minutes. Then press the cavities back into place. When Cool roll the melted chocolate on the inside of each chocolate chip cookie cup.
