Directions:Melt the butter and chocolate, stirring frequently. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla on low speed until well combined. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and blend until just combined. While mixing, add the flour mixture slowly and blend until just combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then cover the dough and refrigerate about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325º F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough, then roll the dough in your hands to create balls. Arrange the balls about 2 inches apart on your baking sheets, then bake the cookies about 12 minutes.
While the cookies bake, cut the large marshmallows in half crosswise. When the cookies have baked, remove from oven and press one marshmallow half cut side down into the center of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake another 2-3 minutes. Allow the pan of cookies to cool a few minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Prepare icing by combining all ingredients in a medium bow and mixing with a whisk. Spoon a small amount of icing onto the top of each marshmallow and spread it a bit and top with sprinkles before icing dries. Allow icing to set up about 30 minutes before serving. Store in airtight container up to 2 days. |
