Chocolate Marshmallow Biscuits with Gold Leaf

Chocolate Marshmallow Biscuits with Gold Leaf – Daring Bakers July 2009

July 26, 2009 by Not Quite Nigella

“You’ve got chocolate boobs” my friends says matter of factly. I look down, puzzled at her comment. No, they seem perfectly normal. “No look, you made some here” she says pointing at what I believe to be heart shaped biscuits. I follow her accusing French Polished finger and see that despite my best efforts to produce some elegant little heart shaped biscuits dotted with 23 karat Gold Leaf, I see that I have in fact made some chocolate boobs.

Chocolate Boobs

Thus begins my story with this month’s Daring Baker’s challenge. The July Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network. Due to time constraints and the fact that I am co-hosting August’s Daring Bakers challenge I just made the Chocolate Mallow Biscuits. Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of Chocolate Mallow Biscuits. They’re just not to my taste and texture but I knew that everyone else around me would love them so being the people pleaser that I am, I got to work. Frantically in between huge gaps and pauses. There are three parts to this recipe and each requires some hours waiting in between.

The recipe was very straightforward and easy if you have the time to wait. I wanted to make them a bit more elegant so I bought some edible 23 karat gold leaf as I had seen truffles decorated similarly and always thought that they looked lovely. If you’ve ever worked with gold leaf before you’ll know how flyaway and paper thin the sheets are, how fiddly they are to work with and how much it likes to stick to your skin. I got my trusty Tweezermans out and prised little pieces off and dotted the top. I like to think that they look elegant. But then again I have friends that think they look like boobs. “You could drape some more Gold Leaf and make a Gold bikini top for them!” my friend says chuckling and I have to admit I considered the idea…

I also made larger round ones but when I put them next to each other, I think you can guess what my friend said.

So tell me Dear Reader, have you ever thought that you were ever totally misinterpreted?

Recipe courtesy Gale Gand, from Food Network website

Prep Time: 10 min
Inactive Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Serves: about 2 dozen cookies

3 cups (375grams/13.23oz) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (112.5grams/3.97oz) white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 tablespoons (170grams/ 6 oz) unsalted butter
3 eggs, whisked together
Homemade marshmallows, recipe follows
Chocolate glaze, recipe follows
1 sheet of Gold leaf to decorate and gold lustre dust to sprinkle

1. In a mixer with the paddle attachment, blend the dry ingredients.

2. On low speed, add the butter and mix until sandy.

3. Add the eggs and mix until combine.

4. Form the dough into a disk, wrap with clingfilm or parchment and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.

5. When ready to bake, grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

7. Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness, on a lightly floured surface. Use a 1 to 1 1/2 inches cookie cutter to cut out small rounds of dough.

See, just hearts, no boobs at all!

8. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let cool to room temperature.

OK now I’m seeing boobs…

9. Pipe a “kiss” of marshmallow onto each cookie. Let set at room temperature for 2 hours.

10. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or silicon mat.

11. One at a time, gently drop the marshmallow-topped cookies into the hot chocolate glaze.

12. Lift out with a fork and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. With tweezers, tear off small pieces of the gold leaf and adhere to the chocolate while still wet.

13. Place on the prepared pan and let set at room temperature until the coating is firm, about 1 to 2 hours.

14. Once totally set, dust the top of the biscuits with gold lustre dust.

Note: if you don’t want to make your own marshmallows, you can cut a large marshmallow in half and place on the cookie base. Heat in a preheated 350-degree oven to slump the marshmallow slightly, it will expand and brown a little. Let cool, then proceed with the chocolate dipping.

Homemade marshmallows:

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup (168.76 grams/5.95oz) sugar
1 tablespoon powdered gelatin and 2 tablespoons cold water or 1 sheet leaf gelatine and a small bowl of cold water
2 egg whites , room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. In a saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar, bring to a boil until “soft-ball” stage, or 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.

2. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water and let dissolve or soak. Or if using leaf gelatine, soak in a small bowl of cold water until soft.

3. Remove the syrup from the heat, add the gelatin, and mix.

4. Whip the whites until soft peaks form and pour the syrup into the whites.

5. Add the vanilla and continue whipping until stiff.

6. Transfer to a pastry bag.

Chocolate glaze:

12 ounces/360grams semisweet chocolate
2 ounces/60g cocoa butter or vegetable oil

1. Melt the 2 ingredients together in the top of a double boiler or a bowl set over barely simmering water.

Boobs or not, they look so tasty. You’re very ambitious making your own marshmallows. I’m sure that if I tried, I’d end up with a big sticky mess in my kitchen!
2. Karen | July 27, 2009 at 12:55 am | #

Holy smokes you’re fast! Mine are in the oven now though I chose the other cookies as I can’t really stand marshmallows. Yours look fab…no matter how booby they look!

Looking forward to seeing what evil challenge you have concocted for us in August!
3. Angela @ A Spoonful of Sugar | July 27, 2009 at 1:07 am | #

Oh, they’re beautiful, Lorraine! And I can totally see that they’re little hearts Unfortunately I had to sit out the challenge again this month but I’m really looking forward to hosting next month’s with you!!
4. Caitlin | July 27, 2009 at 1:09 am | #

Hahaha – oh, the try for elegance followed by the inevitable boob cookies, what a downfall it is They look absolutely wonderful, so I’m sad I ran out of time this month. So excited to hear you’re cohosting next month though!!
5. anna | July 27, 2009 at 1:11 am | #

So that’s what you needed the gold leaf for! Gorgeous! I made some heart-shaped ones as well (and larger round ones…and little stars…but with sprinkles instead of gold) but no one thought to call them boobs…hmm.
6. sara | July 27, 2009 at 1:18 am | #

Gorgeous! I love the gold leaf touch.
7. Barbara | July 27, 2009 at 1:27 am | #

I think you “boobs” look quite elegant! I’m looking forward to your DB challenge! Hopefully, you’ll post it on the 1st at midnight in AU, then I’ll get to see it a day early!
8. Rosa | July 27, 2009 at 1:36 am | #

Very well done! Your cookies look so cute! Wow, I’m impressed!

My post will be up tomorrow…

Cheers,

Rosa
9. The Duo Dishes | July 27, 2009 at 1:38 am | #

Fun little cookies! Who’s not going to like these? We’d like to try making marshmallows one day too.
10. clumbsycookie | July 27, 2009 at 1:58 am | #

Ahahahah! I love the boobies! They king of look more like cute butts to me ! They’re awesome with the gold leaf! I can’t wait for what you’ll pick next month!
11. Parita | July 27, 2009 at 3:26 am | #

Wow love these cute little hearts!
12. Faith | July 27, 2009 at 4:10 am | #

These chocolates are absolutly gorgeous and so elegant with the gold leaf. You made me laugh so hard with the boob story!
13. jackie | July 27, 2009 at 4:25 am | #

they look perfect, very professional with the golf final touch. It seems like a lot of work but well worth it.
14. jackie | July 27, 2009 at 4:26 am | #

gold, not golf
15. snooky doodle | July 27, 2009 at 4:53 am | #

ha you really made me laugh with the chocolate boobs. I think these look nice and sophisticated
16. Soma | July 27, 2009 at 5:45 am | #

23 K Gold leaves on Chocolate Boobs!! ROFL! making me think of all wild things;-D

Back to your True Post – They look wonderful, the inside of the heart I mean… & also the presentation on the gold!
17. Julia @ Mélanger | July 27, 2009 at 6:33 am | #

Beautiful. Love the heart shapes. I wouldn’t have made ‘that comment’ because I would have been keen to snaffle a cookie or two from you! I like the idea of the gold leaf. Lovely.
18. Bria | July 27, 2009 at 6:36 am | #

I was going to decorate mine with gold leaf too! But I didn’t get around to it… My boyfriend also commented that mine looked like boobs!
19. Tammy | July 27, 2009 at 7:42 am | #

your mallows look beautiful. cant wait to see what you choose for next month!
20. Angela | July 27, 2009 at 7:43 am | #

Oh, these are just GORGEOUS, NQN!! They are so cute, I wouldn’t have thought of them as boobies until you mentioned it, but now… lol at the idea of dressing them in a gold leaf bikini! The remind me of teatime at my Grandma’s, with Tunnock’s Teacakes. I ducked out of this month’s challenge, but really can’t wait to hear what you hav in store for us in August (please be kind to us)! xxx
21. sandra | July 27, 2009 at 7:45 am | #

Wow I think they look delightful. I would never have seen boobies if it hadnt been pointed out just delightful little chocolate covered hearts. I love the pic of the round one cut in half!!!!
22. Anita | July 27, 2009 at 7:49 am | #

Hehehehe…. that’s pretty funny. I love the heart shaped ones though, and great idea to add the gold leaf. That was a good challenge!
23. Ellie@AlmostBourdain | July 27, 2009 at 7:49 am | #

Boobs Mellow Cookies!! lol!! Gorgeous little gems. Love the finishing touch with the gold leaves.
24. Sarah | July 27, 2009 at 8:17 am | #

Yes LOL! I made your cocnut macaroons once, for a baby shower that had a ‘pink’ theme. I tinted the white chocolate with pink, and put a silver cachous on top of each one. I thought they looked so pretty, but the first thing everyone at the shower pointed out was that they looked like boobs. They tasted good though, as I’m sure your choc mallow boobs did
25. Cakelaw | July 27, 2009 at 8:25 am | #

LOL – well, if it’s any consolation, I think they look tres elegant. Great job.
26. Yas | July 27, 2009 at 8:45 am | #

Wooo beautifully done! they look soo yummy! Love the little touch with the gold leaf

I’ve tried something similar (but of course, with premade cookies and marshmallows) and couldn’t even get that right! it’s always best to leave something like this for those with talent LOL
27. shaz | July 27, 2009 at 8:49 am | #

Lol! That’s exactly what my hubby said about my mallows! (They had a cherry on top ;P).

Love the heart shaped idea and the gold leaf.

And I am constatntly misinterpreted because I speak too fast.
28. Kathryn @ Australia Entertains | July 27, 2009 at 8:50 am | #

These are so gorgeous! I love them for a wedding… must share over at PF and AE!
29. Y | July 27, 2009 at 8:54 am | #

Ha! Yours takes the cake! Or the boob, or whatever. If I say boob will I automatically fall into your spam folder? Rescue me, Lorraine, rescue me!
30. Steph | July 27, 2009 at 8:54 am | #

LOL at the golden chocolate boobs! They are some super classy boobs indeed I love the addition of gold leaf, where did you manage to find some in Sydney?
31. Johanna | July 27, 2009 at 9:10 am | #

I thought these were going to be like wagon wheels but they look like chocolate royals – the most fun with eating them is to smash them on your forehead but maybe you would end up with a gold bindi on your forehead. You can probably tell I ate these as a child but haven’t had them much since! (and yours look wonderful)
32. Big M | July 27, 2009 at 9:18 am | #

Hi L. It looks beautiful and I admire your patience. Much love M
33. sally | July 27, 2009 at 9:29 am | #

The ‘boobs’ are lovely! Bet they taste good too. Can you tell me where you got the gold doily from please?
34. Belle@OohLook | July 27, 2009 at 9:52 am | #

So that is what you needed the gold leaf for? It provides a really luxurious touch to the gorgeous biscuits.
35. Anh | July 27, 2009 at 10:49 am | #

So perfect! I love that edible gold leaf. And cannot wait until the next month challenge with you!
36. Chou | July 27, 2009 at 11:05 am | #

Hah! I thought that boob thing about my mis-shappen little mallows, too. They are good people pleasers, but one is plenty. Great job!
37. Trisha | July 27, 2009 at 11:10 am | #

Oh these indeed look sophisticated with the added gold leaf! And LOL @ chocolate boobies!
38. Arwen from Hoglet K | July 27, 2009 at 11:24 am | #

I like the contrast between the dark chocolate and the shiny gold. I guess marshmallow always has the danger of taking on an unexpected shape, but they do look pretty.
39. Meg{Feasting on Art} | July 27, 2009 at 11:52 am | #

So cute! I love that you made them in a little heart shape!
40. Esz | July 27, 2009 at 12:26 pm | #

LOL that is hilarious – chocolate boobies!! Tehehe. They look yummy though
41. Sophia | July 27, 2009 at 1:09 pm | #

LMAO!! They do sorta look like chocolate boobs, but hey, they’re sure much more tastier-looking than the real ones!
42. Midge | July 27, 2009 at 3:32 pm | #

Shortbread, marshmallows, and chocolate: definitely a winning combination. I love how the finished hearts look with the gold leaf – no, not “chocolate boobs” at all.
43. Jude | July 27, 2009 at 3:52 pm | #

Does eating golden leaves make for any weird side effects. Like golden pee? Oh, wait…
44. deeba | July 27, 2009 at 4:59 pm | #

LOL…golden boobs indeed, but a bit of butt in the first one too.Priceless Mallows Lorraine, well done on the challenge! I ♥’d making mine too, & felt quite accomplished by the end of the day!Indian desserts use a lot of beaten silver leaves…very fiddly to use indeed!
45. Lisa | July 27, 2009 at 4:59 pm | #

Lorraine, those are some stunning boobies, err mallows LOL Love the gold leaf on top and the heart shape, when in the right position, is gorgeous. When upside down, it’s about the size of my boobies *sigh*
46. Iron Chef Shellie | July 27, 2009 at 6:00 pm | #

good god woman, you make me hungry! hehe chocolate boobs

I will remember to only look at your blog once I’ve eaten
47. FFichiban | July 27, 2009 at 7:02 pm | #

Hee hee chocolate boobs No matter what they look tasttyyyy! and homemade marshmallows wow! Pro!
48. Dharm | July 27, 2009 at 9:54 pm | #

Your boobs look great Lorraine! LOL! Seriously, the mallow biscuits are just lovely. Funnily enough, my post has reference to boobs too!! Great Read and great looking cookies! Well done. Cant wait to see what you come up with for August…
49. grace | July 27, 2009 at 10:02 pm | #

i make no bones about the fact that i love heart-shaped foods, particularly desserts, particularly chocolate. i’d devour these regardless of their boob-like appearance.
50. BreadintheBone | July 27, 2009 at 10:03 pm | #

So what’s wrong with chocolate boobs? Of course, I’m a guy, so definitely prejudiced in favour . . .

Besides, they look so much classier than the Mallomars of my childhood days. Those never had gold leaf!
51. Panda | July 27, 2009 at 10:38 pm | #

i laughed at your post. tops to these chocolate boobs
52. Emily | July 27, 2009 at 11:10 pm | #

Just wondering if you used the powdered gelatin or the gelatine sheets in the marshmallows. I detest the smell of powdered gelatin however the recommended conversion I found was 2 sheets of gelatine for every teaspoon of powdered. One sheet for 1 tablespoon powdered doesn’t seem right.
53. Christie @ Fig & Cherry | July 28, 2009 at 12:13 am | #

Mmm chocolate boobs, yummy! I’m not really a fan of marshmallow and biscuit together, but the gold leaf is very posh indeed.
54. Bren | July 28, 2009 at 12:24 am | #

girl, i’m misinterpreted all the time! love the gold leaf element. have had it in savory food!
55. April | July 28, 2009 at 1:25 am | #

Too funny! But now that you say it, I do see what your friend is talking about But they look delicious and I love the gold touch.
56. isa | July 28, 2009 at 1:31 am | #

They are so cute!
Love the heart shapes and the gold leaf!
57. Jacq | July 28, 2009 at 2:36 am | #

Boobs or no boobs, they still look like they taste delicious! I think the gold lustre dust and gold leaf really turns it from something ordinary-looking to something a bit more special
58. Blond Duck | July 28, 2009 at 3:35 am | #

If you have to make boobs, might as well have chocolate ones!
59. veggiebelly | July 28, 2009 at 5:15 am | #

How very elegant these gold dusted beauties look!
60. Lauren | July 28, 2009 at 7:30 am | #

I made some of mine heart shaped, mine didn’t look boob shaped, but then they didn’t look very heart shaped either!!

The gold leaf is a beautiful touch.
61. Lauren | July 28, 2009 at 11:24 am | #

Haha – Love the boobs. All of your cookies look awesome, and the gold leaf sounds interesting – I’ve never thought of using it on food.
62. Jillian | July 28, 2009 at 12:46 pm | #

I love how you made these look so elegant! and the boobs are pretty awesome too.
63. Alexandra | July 28, 2009 at 12:52 pm | #

hee hee chocolate boobs…they do look delicious though! is there anything you can’t do?
64. Laura | July 28, 2009 at 1:41 pm | #

I loved your story! I kind of have to agree with your friend, but they are lovely hearts when upside down.

Nice baking along you.
65. morgana | July 28, 2009 at 4:36 pm | #

Mmmmmmmm. Those “De luxe” mallows look really good (though they may look like boobs).
66. Gab* | July 28, 2009 at 6:12 pm | #

The boobs look great! I’m not a big fan of marshmallows but I liked these more than I thought I would.

Can’t wait to see what you pick for August! Are you going to wait until 1st Aug US time to post it or Aussie time?

These are lovely little gold flecked “hearts.”
74. Elissa | July 30, 2009 at 12:28 am | #

The gold leaf is stunning! I love the heart shape… it’s so cute Nothing I’ve made yet has been misinterpreted, but I’d pass out boob shaped mallows. Yum.
75. Little Miss Cupcake | July 30, 2009 at 4:03 pm | #

These are exquisite! Love the idea of gold leaf. From here they look a little more like butt cheeks than boobs, but syill exquisite nonetheless! Looking forward to your challenge though I may have to sit out cause we’re on holidays. ;(
76. Not Quite Nigella | July 30, 2009 at 6:17 pm | #

Hi art and lemons-Thanks so much!

Hi Elissa-Hehe thankyou! Too funny!

Hi Little Miss Cupcake-Haha that’s what hubby said Aww what a shame you might have to sit it out! But I understand, you’re on holidays!
