Cheesecake, chocolate cookies and marshmallow... what a combo! These handheld cheesecake cookies are not only delicious but also perfect for Halloween (or any time of the year to be honest!)
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°f / 180°c. Line three baking trays with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a bowl, pour heated cream over dark chocolate and set to one side to melt. Cover the bowl with cling film.
Cream butter and sugars, add egg and vanilla, then flour and cocoa mixture.
Roll 40 g of dough into balls, then coat in granulated sugar. Place on the baking tray with a room to spread, usually around six on a tray.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes then remove from oven and leave to cool for 15 minutes.
Heat a large marshmallow in a bowl for 8 to 10 seconds, then pinch a little between six fingers then spread over the cookie.
In a bowl mix mascarpone, cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract.
Pipe a ring of cream cheese on top of the cookie, fill the centre with dark chocolate ganache and then place a spiderweb cookie on top.
