Biscotti al cioccolato e marshmallow senza glutine

Ingredienti

• 1 2/3 cups (250g) gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
• 2/3 cup (55g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 cup (170g) butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 36 large marshmallows
• 8 ounces (226g) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparazione

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

2. 2

   In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl halfway through.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined.

5. 5

   Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

7. 7

   Scoop the cookie dough into round balls, 1½ tablespoons per ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart, and flatten slightly.

8. 8

   Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and immediately top each cookie with a marshmallow.

9. 9

   Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and use your fingers to flatten the marshmallows a little.

10. 10

    Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. 11

    For the ganache: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl. Microwave the heavy cream until simmering, about 1 minute. Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate and let sit for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth. If the chocolate still isn’t melted, microwave the ganache for 20-second increments at 50% power, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth.

    Spoon melted chocolate over each cooled marshmallow-topped cookie. Enjoy!
