Are you in a Christmas mood already? If not, it’s about time ;) Maybe a little Advent calendar, something to nibble on and some Christmas music will do the trick? “Last Christmas” is playing here already all the time, but I guess you can’t hear that ;P So all I can give you is the Advent calendar and some delicious cookie sandwiches. How about that?!

Foodbloggers love Advent calendars. You can find one on almost every page ;) You can’t put that calendar on your desk in the office, but you can celebrate the days virtually and give people little gifts virtually and sometimes real ones… ;)
This year I am part of the Foodblogger Adventskalender again (last year I made this delicious Bûche de Noël) and my day for the calendar is… you can guess… today! The 9th of December ;) If you want to know more and who else is part of this Advent calendar, take a look at the Facebook Page or go to the end of this post where all days and blogs are listed. Well… it is the 9th of December and also Friday, so I decided to make you some cookies. Delicious Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies with marmalade. Sounds good, right?!

Two chocolate cookies get cosy with a soft Marshmallow and some marmalade – dunked in some chocolate to cover everything… this is how little e stories should start – not with “Once upon a time…” ;P
Even if you are not a bit fan of marshmallows, I think you will like this combination. Important is to have a good cookie as a base and some really good marmalade. The one I used is from Marmelicious* – a marmalade producing company here from Berlin. They make really good jam, marmalade or whatever you call it ;) Not only “classic” flavors but also more experimental combinations – you should take a look for yourself. They have some crazy (good) s**t :D In the German version of this blogpost you can win some of that marmalade…
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the dough:
1/2 cup (120g) butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 medium egg
2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
pinch of salt
For the filling/decoration:
10 large marshmallows
100g marmalade
14 oz. (400g) semi-sweet chocolate coating
Für den Teig:
120g weiche Butter
150g Zucker
1 Ei (M)
260g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Backpulver
1 EL Kakao
Prise Salz
Für die Füllung/Dekoration:
10 große Marshmallows
100g Marmelade
400g Zartbitterkuvertüre
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out 40 rounds – each about 2.4 inches (6cm) in diameter. Place on the baking sheets and bake one sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for a moment, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the second baking sheet – do not turn off the oven averwards.
3. Half the marshmallows. Turn half of the cookies upside down and place on a baking sheet – place a marshmallow on top. Brush some marmalade on the backside of the other half of the cookies and set aside. Place the ones with the marshmallows in the oven and bake them for about 2-3 minutes. Take them out and immediately place the cookies with the marmalade on top of the cookies with the marshmallows and press together. Let cool down on a wire rack.
4. Chop the chocolate coating and melt in the microwave or over a pot with simmering water. Coat the cookies with the chocolate and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen und 40 Teigkreise mit jeweils 6cm (2.4 inches) Durchmesser ausstechen. Die Teigstücke mit genügend Abstand auf die Bleche legen und dann jeweils ein Backblech in den Ofen schieben und für 8-10 Minuten baken. Aus dem Ofen nehmen, kurze Zeit auf dem Blech abkühlen lassen und dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen zum Auskühlen. Die restlichen Kekse ebenso backen und den Ofen danach nicht ausschalten.
3. Die Marshmallows halbieren. Die Hälfte der Kekse umgedreht auf ein Backblech legen (Unterseite zeigt nach oben) und mit jeweils einem halben Marshmallow belegen. Die Unterseiten der restlichen Kekse mit der Marmelade bestreichen und zur Seite stellen. Die Kekse mit den Marshmallows jetzt 2-3 Minuten im Ofen backen, herausnehmen und dann sofort mit den Keksseiten mit der Marmelade zusammendrücken. Auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.
4. Die Kuvertüre grob hacken und schmelzen – entweder in der Mikrowelle oder über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser. Die Kekse damit überziehen und dann auf einem Kuchengritter trocknen lassen..
