Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup marshmallow creme (or fluff)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough
    In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined.
  2. Shape and Bake
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into 1-tbsp balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until set around the edges but still soft in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Prepare the Filling
    Beat marshmallow creme and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches
    Spread or pipe marshmallow filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
