Prepare a double broiler and in a separate bowl, mix all ingredients except the vanilla.
Combine all marshmallow frosting ingredients except vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Place the bowl over the prepared double broiler.
Start to simmer the water and heat the mixture until a candy thermometer reaches 165℉ and all the sugar has dissolved (about 5-10 minutes after the water begins to simmer).
Stir as you heat mixture for even cooking.
Once all the sugar has dissolved and the mix is 165℉, remove from heat and place the bowl in a standing mixer
Mix on medium-high for 5-7 minutes until the egg whites stiffen up and the mixture starts to cool.
As the mixture begins to stiffen, add the vanilla extract.

First, use a large ice cream scoop to place a mound of chocolate ganache onto each cupcake.
Scoop the marshmallow frosting into a frosting bag, then pipe a layer of marshmallow on top of the ganache.
If you have a kitchen torch, use it to toast the marshmallow frosting. You could also use a multi-purpose lighter.
Place a cookie on top of the marshmallow frosting and press it gently to set.
