Description

Delicious chocolate meringue cookies topped with a fluffy marshmallow buttercream and decorated for the holidays.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tbsp egg white powder
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 7 oz tub marshmallow cream
  • 2 sticks butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Christmas sprinkles
  • Mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Sift almond flour, egg white powder, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar together; discard chunks.
  2. Beat egg whites in a mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
  3. Fold meringue into dry ingredients until the batter flows enough to form a figure 8.
  4. Pipe batter onto lined trays, tap to remove air bubbles, and let dry for 20 minutes.
  5. Bake at 300°F for 12 minutes. Cool completely before removing from trays.
  6. Melt chocolate chips, dip cookie tops, and decorate with sprinkles and mini marshmallows.
  7. Make frosting by whipping marshmallow cream, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Add heavy cream for consistency.
  8. Pipe frosting on one cookie, top with another, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the mixing bowl is clean and free from grease when whipping egg whites.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on the tray before transferring to avoid breaking.
