The history of marshmallow cookies takes us back in time, when this fluffy and sweet ingredient was used in various desserts, bringing a sense of joy and comfort. These cookies blend tradition with innovation, offering you an unforgettable culinary experience.

Necessary ingredients:
- 430 g flour
- 80 g cocoa
- 100 g cold butter (cut into cubes)
- 120 g sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 packets vanilla sugar
- 250 ml milk
- 300 g marshmallow (about one large bag)
- 300 g dark chocolate
- 1 packet dark chocolate pudding

Step by step for perfect cookies:

1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, salt, baking soda, and vanilla sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well with a whisk to ensure there are no lumps. Add the cold butter cubes and mix with your fingers or a mixer until the mixture becomes grainy, resembling breadcrumbs.

2. Adding wet ingredients: Gradually pour the milk into the flour and butter mixture, stirring continuously until you obtain a smooth dough. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly sticky dough is perfect.

3. Forming the cookies: Take a piece of dough and shape it into small balls, then flatten them slightly with your palm. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them as they will spread while baking.

4. Preparing the marshmallows: Cut each marshmallow in half. Once the cookies are flattened on the tray, gently press half a marshmallow into the center of each cookie. Make sure the indentation is deep enough to hold the marshmallow during baking.

5. Baking the cookies: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the tray in the oven and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, until they are firm to the touch. After removing them from the oven, gently press your finger in the center of each cookie to adjust the marshmallow.

6. Second baking: Put the tray back in the oven for another 5 minutes to melt the marshmallows. Finally, take the tray out and let the cookies cool completely on a rack.

7. Chocolate glaze: In a heatproof bowl, place the dark chocolate broken into small pieces. Heat over a double boiler, stirring constantly until melted and creamy. Once the cookies are completely cooled, generously glaze them with the melted chocolate, allowing some drips to run down the sides for an appetizing look.

8. Serving: These cookies are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fragrant tea for a perfect indulgence moment.

Helpful tips:
- Make sure the butter is cold for a crumbly dough.
- If you want to add a hint of flavor, you can incorporate a few drops of vanilla essence into the dough.
- Instead of marshmallows, you can use chocolate or caramel cubes to vary the recipe.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use sugar-free marshmallows? Yes, but the taste and texture of the cookies will be different.
2. Can I substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate? Sure, but the cookies will be sweeter and less intense in flavor.
3. How can I store the cookies? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Nutritional benefits:
These cookies, although a dessert, also bring some benefits. Cocoa is a rich source of antioxidants, and marshmallows, although sweet, can bring a smile to the faces of loved ones. However, consume in moderation as they are high in sugar.

Possible variations:
- You can add chopped nuts to the dough for extra texture.
- Instead of chocolate pudding, try vanilla pudding for a different experience.

These cookies with marshmallow and chocolate glaze are not just a treat, but also an opportunity to create beautiful moments with loved ones. Don’t hesitate to experiment and bring your own variations! Enjoy cooking and every delicious bite!
