Ingredients
 
 

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • green and blue food coloring
Cream Cheese Filling
  • 1 block cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups marshmallow fluff 1/2 of a 7 oz container
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Method
 

Step 1: Make the filling
  1. Mix the room temperature cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions onto a parchment paper lined plate or tray and chill in the freezer until firm.
Step 2: Cream butter & sugar
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (convection). In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar for 1–2 minutes, until pale and off-white. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
Step 3: Add dry ingredients & color
  1. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Fold gently until just combined. Divide the dough in half, dyeing one portion green and the other blue.
Step 4: Assemble cookies
  1. Scoop 1/3 cup of dough, using equal parts green and blue, and flatten in your palm. Place a chilled marshmallow cheesecake ball in the center, then fold the dough around it until sealed. Roll each cookie in granulated sugar.
Step 5: Bake
  1. Place cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 13–14 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are just soft.
Step 6: Shape & cool
  1. For perfectly round cookies, immediately swirl a round bowl, cup, or cookie cutter around each cookie while warm. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring.
Step 7: Serve & store
  1. Enjoy fresh, or store in a chilled environment for up to 8 days.
