It reminded me (Serena) of a time when I had people tell me I couldn’t melt or torch (this included my parents and plane a roommate of mine).

Much of the time for this peppermint chocolate marshmallow cookie recipe is due to nippy times. It only needs 45 minutes of zippy time.

- Beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla on medium-high until fluffy with a mixer for well-nigh 3 minutes. Whisk flour and salt in a separate trencher and then add the salted flour to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing on low until just blended.
- Form the dough into a log shape that’s 2 inches in diameter. Wrap with cling wrap and nippy for 2 hours or until firm. Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F and line two sultry sheets with parchment paper and grease. Set aside. Slice log into ½-inch-thick rounds and lay them unappetizing on the sultry sheets. Torch until the edges are just whence to brown, well-nigh 13 to 15 minutes. Allow them to tomfool on the sultry sheet and do not be tempted to touch them or poke them. At first, it may seem tender and not cooked. They need to tomfool and harden as they do (about 10 minutes).
- Carefully spread a tablespoon of marshmallow fluff/creme on each cookie. Place cookies in the freezer and freeze until fluff/creme is firm well-nigh 15-20 minutes.
