Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/gas 5. Butter three cookie sheets. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.

2. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the sugar.

3. Mix in the egg yolk. Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Roll out the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm). Use a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

5. Cut out the centers from half of the cookies with a 1-inch (2.5-cm) cookie cutter.

6. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting out cookies until all the dough is used.

7. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the cookies with holes to racks.

8. Place a marshmallow on the top of each whole cookie and bake for 3 minutes, or until the marshmallow has melted.

9. Immediately stick a ring cookie on top of each marshmallow base. Transfer to racks to cool.
