Name: Mint-Mallow Sandwich Cookies
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 2 dozen.
Ingredients: 1/3 cup butter, softened; 1-1/4 cups sugar; 1 large egg white; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/3 cup baking cocoa; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; FILLING:; 1/3 cup marshmallow creme; 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract; 1 drop red food coloring, optional

A lightened version of Whoopie Pies, with a peppermint twist to make them Christmas-y. Kids love them! Instead of adding peppermint extract and red food coloring, you can add 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies to the marshmallow fluff. $mdash;Dion Frscher, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
FILLING:
1/3 cup marshmallow creme
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 drop red food coloring, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg white and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to sugar mixture, and mix well.
Shape into 3/4-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the marshmallow creme, extract and, if desired, food coloring. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Store in an airtight container.

Wonderful Recipe! Cookies turned out chocolatey as normal and once cooled the marshmallow to a bit to settle on to the cookie but after a while it almost looked just like the picture!

Had terrible luck with this recipe. Dough never solidified--remained dry and crumbly. Cookies came out hard & with strange texture. I triple-checked the ingredients & instructions and I followed instructions.
