1 hrsIf you’ve ever wished you could make your own version of those iconic chocolate cream-filled snack cakes, here’s your recipe. Soft, cakey cocoa cookies get sandwiched around a whipped marshmallow cream filling that’s light, fluffy, and ridiculously sweet.
The cookies bake up round and puffy with just-set edges and a tender center. The filling is a quick beat of marshmallow cream, butter, shortening, and powdered sugar until it turns cloud-like.
Kids go absolutely wild for these, and adults pretend they don’t while reaching for a second one.
Pro Tips
- Match cookies by size before filling so your sandwiches look even and the filling doesn’t squeeze out
- Let the cookies cool completely before assembling or the filling will melt
- Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers to keep them from sticking together
