Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup Imperial Sugar® / Dixie Crystals® Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/4 cups marshmallow creme

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, ground almonds, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/16-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. gingerbread man cookie cutter. Using a floured 3/4-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut a heart from half of the cookies.
Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Spread the bottom of each solid cookie with 1 tablespoon marshmallow creme; gently place cutout cookies over creme. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 20 cookies. To Make Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days in advance. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out. Cookies can be baked 1 week ahead of time and stored in an airtight container or frozen for up to 1 month.
