all mallowed out
These are the bouncy marshmallow, strawberry-hearted, chocolate-coated pucks of my baking dreams! Snappy cinnamon wholemeal cookies sandwich squares of lemony marshmallow, with zippy strawberry jewels in the centre. The recipe is an homage to the Wagon Wheel, but the name pays tribute to Doris Day’s singin’, dancin’, pistol-packin’ portrayal of Calamity Jane. Whip, (chocolate) crack away!
