4. Now add the oatmeal, coconut and the melted butter and stir.
5. Incorporate the flour. Cover the dough and let it rise for about 10 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and prepare a sheet of baking paper.
7. Evenly divide the dough with an ice cream scoop and place on the baking sheet. Press lightly with moistened fingers and then bake for approx. 12-16 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
9. Beat the cream with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes and then pour it into a piping bag. Put 1 tablespoon of the cream in a small bowl and hold it back.
10. Sprinkle a cookie with cream and put on a second cookie as a lid. Lightly press the almond sticks into the chocolate cream as teeth.
11. Paint the marshmallows either with a food coloring pencil or with melted chocolate. Fix with the cream on top.
