These cookies are sooooo good!
Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
1/2 c. Baking Cocoa
1 3/4 c. Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 c. Shortening (of course I use butter flavored)
1 c. Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 c. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 c. Walnuts, chopped (optional)
14-16 large Marshmallows, sliced in half
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together the shortening, sugar and egg.
Add milk.
Combine the first 4 ingredients together, then stir into the shortening mixture.
Add vanilla and nuts.
(Don't panic if the shortening/milk mix looks curdled, it's ok!)
Bake for 9 minutes.
Remove from the oven, top each cookie with one of the marshmallow halves,
and return to the oven for 3 minutes.
Cool on the cookie sheet for approx. 5 minutes.
Remove to a cooling rack. Frost the cookies while still warm.
(At this point in the cookie baking process my Aunt Leona would always prepare her own delicious chocolate frosting, but I have to admit that I take a quick short cut...)
FROSTING
1 container prepared Chocolate Frosting
1/4 c. Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
In a medium bowl combine the frosting, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
Mix well and spread onto the cookies.
~This was a great tip I got from the Food Networks Sandra Lee. It saves time, and tastes homemade.
I love those kinds of tips!~

Oh, these look marvelous. Have to try them. Thanks for sharing. Linda
These certainly look like an old-time gem. I would try making them with a hard chocolate shell over the marshmallows - that would make them more kid friendly, or to be more precise, clean-up friendly. :) And for lazy days, maybe just sandwich the marshmallow between 2 cookies...
