Ingredients
For the Coffee Marshmallow



For the Cookies












Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 200 milliliters of brewed coffee and 100 grams of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of gelatin powder with 50 milliliters of cold water and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms. Gently heat the coffee mixture, and then add the bloomed gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved. Transfer this mixture to a prepared dish and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together 50 grams of unsalted butter and 100 grams of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together 150 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Finally, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 4
Once the cookies have cooled, take the coffee marshmallow mixture from the fridge and whip it until fluffy. Spread a generous layer of this marshmallow on half of the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies to make sandwiches.
For an extra touch, lightly dust the finished cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your homemade coffee marshmallow cookies!

Equipment
This is essential for whipping the marshmallow mixture into fluffy perfection. Make sure to use the whisk attachment to get that airy texture. If you don't have a stand mixer, a hand mixer will work too, but it might require a bit more effort!


Line with parchment paper for easy removal of cookies and marshmallows. Using the right size baking sheet ensures that your treats bake evenly.
A candy thermometer is crucial for achieving the perfect temperature when making marshmallows. Keep an eye on it for the best results!



Choose fun shapes to make your cookies more appealing! This is a great way to add a personal touch to your treats.
Variations
If you're looking to make this recipe a bit more inclusive, consider these variations!
**For a gluten-free option**, substitute the regular flour in your cookies with a gluten-free blend. Make sure to check that your marshmallow ingredients are also gluten-free. 🌾
**For a vegan twist**, use aquafaba instead of egg whites in your marshmallow recipe. Swap out the sugar for coconut sugar to make it dairy-free. 🌱 These substitutions will still yield a fluffy and delightful result, and nobody will miss the eggs or dairy!
