S'more Sandwich Cookies
I love the summertime. To me, summer means camp... which means no sleep... and friendship bracelets... along with middle school hormones... and boy talk. It's great!
The one unfortunate thing about summertime, however, is that there is little to no time for baking. My days are jam packed with camp life... and although it's so fun (and I wouldn't trade my job for the world)... there is no time to bake or update this blog as much as I'd like.
But this weekend I had the chance to bake!!!! It was great! I went home for the day and made these!
S'more Sandwich Cookies!
They're so addicting. And amazing. And every other adjective you could think of that means delicious. I do have to warn you, though, these cookies are very time consuming. They are COMPLETELY worth the effort, though. Trust me! :)
S'more sandwich cookies are basically two graham cookies stuck together with (homemade) marshmallow fluff in the middle, then half-dipped in dark chocolate. Mmmmmmm deliciousness.
Have fun!!

Allow to cool slightly before transferring to wire rack to finish cooling.
Meanwhile, prepare marshmallow fluff (as described below).*
Transfer marshmallow fluff into a ziplock bag, and cut tip of bag (this makes a pastry bag!)

Dip in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to dry.

*I halved the marshmallow fluff recipe because it makes a lot!!
Marshmallow fluff
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp. water
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
Directions
Using a double broiler (or saucepan with a large enough bowl to sit on top of boiling water), heat all ingredients over boiling water.
Combine all ingredients in top half of broiler (with boiling water in lower half).
Beat with an electric mixer over simmering water.
Beat for about 8 minutes, when mixture will gradually become fluffy, then will thicken, turn white, and become slightly glossy.
Remove top half of broiler from simmering water.
Continue to beat on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to further thicken fluff.
Allow marshmallow fluff to cool before use.
Store unused fluff in an air-tight container for up to 3 days (refrigerate!).
