Ingredients

Cookies:

9 oz butter
5 oz sugar
8.5 oz flour
1 teaspoon yeast
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Filling:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 bottle (7 1/2 ounces) marshmallow Fluff
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

1

Whip the butter with the sugar until you have cream. Add the egg and extract the vanilla. Continue whipping.
2

Separately, mix the flour with the yeast, salt and cocoa powder. Add this to the butter mixture in three parts to prevent lumps. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
3

Remove the dough from the fridge, stretch out with a rolling pin and use a round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes baking at 350°F.
4

Whip the butter with the sugar until the mixture looks pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla. Keep mixing.
5

Make a sandwich with two cookies and use the marshmallow fluff in the middle.
6

Crush the candy canes. Roll the cookies in the candy cane so that it sticks to the creamy filling. Enjoy!
