Marshmallow Stuffed Ginger Cookies
Marshmallow Stuffed Ginger Cookies are soft, chewy ginger cookies filled with marshmallow fluff for a gooey surprise in each bite! They start with my homemade ginger cookies, which you will love on their own. Then, I added homemade marshmallow fluff to each cookie for a delicious blend of sweet and spice (and everything nice) in one cookie!
Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 222kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ¼ cup (84 g) molasses
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff, or marshmallow creme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, followed by the molasses.
- Gradually add the prepared dry ingredients into the molasses mixture. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and no lumps remain.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough portions onto the lined baking sheets. Gently flatten each dough ball into a flat disk shape approximately 3 inches in diameter.
- Using two spoons (this will keep your hands from getting sticky), add about 1 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff to the center of each disk of dough. Alternatively, you can pipe dollops of fluff using a piping bag.
- Fold the dough up around the marshmallow fluff, ensuring the fluff is completely covered, and form a ball. Place each formed ball on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are brown. Watch the cookies carefully so that the marshmallow does not burn.
- Let the cookies rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
