directions

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • COOKIES:

  • Cream shortening and sugar.
  • Add eggs, mixing well.
  • Stir in milk.
  • (is going to be VERY RUNNY, careful!:).
  • Add soda, salt, vanilla, cocoa, and flour.
  • Mix well.
  • **just a heads up** This dough is VERY SOFT.
  • Almost sticky even.
  • But I didn't add more flour, I left the recipe as it was.
  • Drop slightly heaping teaspoonfuls onto a sprayed cookie sheet.
  • (I did 12 to a sheet and they didn't spread out and touch each other).
  • Bake for 6 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven and top each cookie with 1 marshmallow half, cut side down.
  • Return to oven, bake an additional 3 minutes.
  • ***Ifyou wanted to add a walnut half, I would do it at this point, stick it right into the soft marshmallow***.
  • Marshmallow will be puffy, but will fall a bit after being out of the oven awhile.
  • Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to cookie rack to finish cooling.
  • FROSTING:

  • Mix all ingredients well.
  • Take a small spoon, a teaspoon would be plenty, scoop up some frosting and drizzle over cookies.
  • The recipe says to spread cookies with frosting.
  • NO WAY!
  • It rips the marshmallow all up and looks awful.
  • So, I added a bit more milk than the original recipe called for, to make the frosting more like a glaze so it would look nicer.

  1. The kids really enjoyed these! The adults however felt that the base cookie was a bit lacking in flavour. The marshmallow and icing were perfect though! I think I will take the idea of the marshmallow and the recipe for the icing and put it on a different cookie base. The only thing I changed was to sub in 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour instead of all white. These look lovely on a tray as well. Your directions are GREAT! I loved having your comments through out it. It helped me not get worried when I added the milk. Thanks!
