Equipment

  • 1 Cookie Scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour 175g
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 192g
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted, 226 grams
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 250g
  • 1/4 cups brown sugar 50g, light OR dark is fine
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp lemon extract OPTIONAL
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff plus more for topping
  • 4 tablespoons lemon curd plus more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, use a nonstick spatula to mix the melted butter and sugar
  • Add in the egg+yolk and mix. Add in your extracts and mix until homogenous.
  • Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold mixture to combine.
Dough will be thick!
  • Dollop lemon curd in 1/2 tablespoon sized portions into dough.
Dollop fluff in same fashion. Swirl knife through dollops and dough to create a swirled effect. You do not want to add too much marshmallow or fluff since they will melt in the oven and burn if they melt onto the cookie sheet itself.
  • Scoop cookies using a 2 oz scooper. Try to get the fluff and curd at the top of the cookie in your scoop. As you scoop, you will need to re-layer some curd and fluff so every scoop has some! Place scoops on your parchment-lined sheet and place in freezer for two hours.
  • Remove from freezer. Bake cookies for 10-13 minutes in the oven. If they don't look perfect, do not fret! Use a round cookie cutter or cup to shape them into perfect circles while they are warm right out of the oven. Also, top with just a little bit more fluff and curd for a pretty cookie! Let cool for another 10. Enjoy!
