Instructions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and pudding mix.
Whisk to combine and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar.
Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. This will help to make a softer cookie.
Turn the mixer down to low and add the egg and vanilla.
Turn the speed back to medium and mix until incorporated.
Turn off the mixer.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix on low speed, gradually increasing the speed as the ingredients become combined.
Turn the mixer off and spoon a small, about 1 tablespoon, sized amount on a silpat, or parchment lined baking sheet.
Cut in half 12 mallows at a time. [b]see note[/b]
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Place two mallows, or 4 halves on each cookie so the top is covered.
Bake for an additional 30-60 seconds or until the mallow is soft. Remove from the oven.
Allow the cookie to cool for about a minute and spread the glaze over the top.
For the Raspberry Glaze
In a large bowl, or standing mixer with the whisk attachment, add the butter, and cream cheese and mix on medium speed until smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredient and mix on low until the mixture has come together and is beginning to smooth out.
Increase the speed and whip until completely smooth.
Spread over cookies.
Notes
If you do not have silpat or parchment you can bake directly on the baking sheet, but the cookies come off easier with the silpat or parchment.Store in an airtight container
