Ingredients

  • Cookies:
  • 2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • Filling:
  • 2 cups marshmallow cream
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Preparation

Step 1

*1*.Cookies: Place oven racks in upper and lower third of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 4 baking sheets with parchment.
*2*.Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and granulated sugar in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla until blended. Add flour mixture in three additions alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
*3*.Divide dough in half and add chocolate to one half, stirring until just blended. Use a scant 1/4 cup ice cream scoop to drop chocolate dough 3 inches apart on 2 baking sheets. Bake 12 to 13 minutes, or until centers are soft but firm and edges are just beginning to brown. Cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling. Repeat with vanilla dough using a full 1/4 cup scoop.
*4*.Filling: Beat marshmallow cream, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Fold chocolate into 1 cup of the filling. Spoon 3 Tbsp of chocolate filling onto center of six white cookies. Top each with remaining white cookies. Repeat with chocolate cookies, using vanilla filling. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
