Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 9 oz butter
  • 5 oz sugar
  • 8.5 oz flour
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Filling:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 bottle (7 1/2 ounces) marshmallow Fluff
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

    1

  •  
    2
    Separately, mix the flour with the yeast, salt and cocoa powder. Add this to the butter mixture in three parts to prevent lumps. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
  •  
    3
    Remove the dough from the fridge, stretch out with a rolling pin and use a round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes baking at 350°F.
  •  
    4
    Whip the butter with the sugar until the mixture looks pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Keep mixing.
  •  
    5
    Make a sandwich with two cookies and use the marshmallow fluff in the middle.
  •  
    6
    Crush the candy canes. Roll the cookies in the candy cane so that it sticks to the creamy filling. Enjoy!
