Ingredients

For The Cookies:

• 6 oz unsalted butter (3/4 cup)

• 9.5 oz all-purpose flour (2 cups + 2 tbsp)

• 2 tbsp corn starch

• 3/4 tsp salt

• 3.75 oz brown sugar (1/2 cup)

• 3.5 oz granulated sugar (1/2 cup)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For The Marshmallow Fondant:

• 6 oz miniature marshmallows (about 3 cups)

• 12 oz powdered sugar (3 cups)

• 4 tsp water

Instructions

To Make The Cookies:

1. Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt and come to a gentle boil. Continue to cook it, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, as it grows darker in color. After about 8-10 minutes it should be golden brown and fragrant, with brown bits on the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a large mixing bowl. Let it cool to room temperature.

2. While you wait for the butter to cool, mix together the flour, corn starch, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Once the butter is cool, add the sugars to the mixing bowl and mix everything together on medium speed until fluffy and well-mixed. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix again. Finally, stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients. Mix together on low just until the drys are nearly incorporated and just a few streaks of flour remain. Finish mixing everything with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
