Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • Marshmallow buttercream (approximately 1 tablespoon per sandwich)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Shortening and Sugar: In a stand mixer, blend the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy to create a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate eggs one at a time on medium-low speed to ensure they are fully mixed and the batter is homogenous.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Reduce mixer speed to low and add vanilla extract, buttermilk, and red gel food coloring to the mixture for flavor and vibrant color.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to combine thoroughly.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing on low to form the cookie dough. Add up to an additional 1/4 cup of buttermilk if the dough feels too dry, but do not exceed this amount.
  7. Pipe Rose Shapes: Transfer small amounts of dough into a piping bag fitted with a 1M or 2D tip and pipe individual rosettes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping each as a delicate flower.
  8. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 6 to 8 minutes. The cookies will appear slightly wet when done, which is normal. Allow them to cool completely to set.
  9. Assemble Cookie Sandwiches: Spread about 1 tablespoon of marshmallow buttercream on the bottom of one cooled cookie, then gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for the best vibrant red hue without altering dough consistency.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should appear slightly soft when removed from the oven to maintain chewiness.
  • If the dough is too dry, add buttermilk gradually—do not exceed 1/4 cup additional to prevent overly wet dough.
  • Ensure cookies are completely cool before sandwiching to avoid melting the filling.
  • Marshmallow buttercream can be substituted with cream cheese frosting for a different flavor profile.
