Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1⅓ cups flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Marshmallow Frosting
- ¾ cup marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
- Pinch of salt
Additional Fillings & Decoration
- holiday sprinkles
- crushed candy canes
- mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy--around 2 minutes. Then add the egg and vanilla and continue beating on medium speed until creamy.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together, and then add them to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Fold the flour in on low speed until it is just combined, being careful to not overwork the dough. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips until they are distributed throughout the dough.
- Option before baking to chill the dough for an hour or overnight!
- Scoop 1½ tbsp sized balls of dough onto the cookie sheets, keeping them 2" apart. Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting & Assembly
- Once again in your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, marshmallow fluff, and salt together until fluffy. Then add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk and continue beating for 2-3 minutes on very light and fluffy.
- To assemble the cookies, spread an even layer of frosting on the bottom of one cookie. Then, sprinkle with some crushed candy canes, chocolate chips, and holiday sprinkles. Place another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Enjoy!
