After trying the s’mores cookies, I get addicted to try some related to s’mores. And found this recipe (online). If you’re interested in trying this out too. Here you go….. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
INGREDIENTS:
COOKIES
- 120 g egg whites room temperature
- 130 g granulated sugar
- 115 g almond flour
- 40 g graham cracker crumbs
- 110 g powdered sugar
- brown color gel optional
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 100 g heavy whipping cream
Marshmallow fluff
- 1/3 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup corn syrup or honey
- 3 large egg whites room temperature
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Line baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment.*
- Place the almond powder, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. Process until just beginning to clump.
- Sift and discard any bits that won’t pass through the sifter. Set aside.
- Whip the egg whites until they're the consistency of a loose foam. Continue whipping while slowly adding granulated sugar. Whip to a stiff meringue. Add brown color gel if desired and whip to incorporate.
- Fold the dry mixture into the meringue.**
- Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with the 1A tip.
- Pipe the macarons onto your baking sheet. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- When all your macarons are piped, whack the baking sheet on the counter at least 3 times to get rid of any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons dry at room temperature until dry to the touch. Approx 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step.
- Once dry, bake macarons in a 300°F oven until they stick a little bit to the pans. This can be anywhere from 10-20mins depending on your oven and how crowded the macarons are on the pan.
- While macarons are drying, make the ganache and marshmallow fluff.
- Let cookies cool completely before removing from pans.
- Place water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Insert a candy thermometer into the pot and heat over medium-high. Do not stir from this point on as crystals will form.
- Wipe down your mixer bowl, whisk, etc with lemon juice or vinegar to ensure they are completely grease free.*
- Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- When the sugar syrup reaches about 225°F, start whipping the egg whites to soft peaks. Approx 3-4mins.
- When the whites are ready, the sugar syrup should be at 240°F. Remove from the heat, turn mixer to medium and very slowly and carefully pour the sugar syrup into the whites in a thin, steady stream.**
- Once all of the syrup is in, set mixer to medium/high and continue whipping. The whites will deflate at first, but they will thicken and fluff up.
- Continue to whip for 7-8 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
- Add in vanilla and whip until the fluff has cooled completely.
- Use right away as a frosting or filling or transfer into an airtight container and store for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
- Chop the chocolate finely and place in a bowl. Heat the cream until boiling and pour over chopped chocolate. Do not stir! Cover bowl with plastic wrap for 2 mins. Stir to emulsify ganache. Place in fridge to set.
- Pipe ganache and marshmallow into the center, sandwich the cookies and twist together.
