Best Washington States Marshmallow Cloud Cookies Recipes

JESSICA'S MARSHMALLOW CLOUDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Until you are ready to assemble the cookies just prior to baking, keep the marshmallows in the freezer- otherwise they will thaw too rapidly.
• Place the marshmallows back into the freezer between each batch of cookies.
• In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda.
• Set aside.
• Combine sugars in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, blend in butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
• Add eggs and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at a low speed until combined.
• Batter will be very stiff.
• Gather 4-5 frozen marshallows in the palm of your hand and cover them with a heaping tablespoon of dough.
• Wrap the dough around the marshmallows, completely encasing them and forming a 2-inch diameter ball.
• Place balls on ungreased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cool on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to a cool flat surface.

MERINGUE CLOUDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange two oven racks evenly in the oven.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the sugar in an even layer on the paper. (Leave a small border of paper around the sugar so the sugar doesn't spill onto the pan.) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the sugar is hot (an edge will begin to brown). Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When the sugar is almost ready, whisk the egg whites on high speed for 1 minute, until the whites are frothy. With the mixer still on high, slowly add the hot sugar to the egg whites. (I use a large spoon to start and then pick up the paper and pour the sugar in slowly.) Add the vanilla and continue to whisk on high for 10 minutes, until the meringue is at room temperature. It will be very thick and glossy.
• Using two large serving spoons, scoop 12 very large oval dollops of meringue onto two sheet pans lined with parchment paper. You should be able to get 6 meringues on each pan; space them well because they will expand while they bake. Place 3 candied rose petals on top of each meringue. Bake for 2 hours, until the outsides of the meringues are crisp and the centers are still soft. Set aside to cool on baking racks. Allow to sit uncovered and serve at room temperature. (Don't refrigerate or store covered or they will lose their crispness.)
