Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

It was Cookie Fest 2012 with all the cookies I had to make for different events last week! Our nephew was baptized on September 1st and his parents had a bbq afterward to celebrate his big day. It's always fun gathering with so many family members and friends, enjoying great food and even better company. His mom asked me to bring a dessert to share so I decided to try out these Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies. I brought them on a big cookie sheet and placed about a dozen on plate to bring outside onto the food table. I set the plate down, started dishing up a plate of food for my two year old and I, and by the time I got to the dessert end of the table the cookies were gone. I hurried and set my plate down with my husband then ran back inside to fill the cookie plate back up. By the time I got back to the table and set the cookies down, the crowd began to form. Kids and adults alike were reaching for the plate, stacking cookies on top of cookies and thanking me for bringing these delicious little buggers. It's always a good feeling when people enjoy what you make, especially when they let you know! Needless to say, the rest of the cookies didn't last much longer on the cookie sheet inside.


Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
Six Sisters' Stuff
makes 3 dozen cookies

• 1 milk chocolate cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 c. vegetable oil
• mini marshmallows
• 1 can whipped chocolate frosting OR the frosting listed below

 Frosting

• 1 stick margarine, softened
• 1/4 c. milk
• 1-2 tsp. vanilla (depending on your taste)
• 3 tsp. cocoa
• 2-3 c. powdered sugar

Combine cake mix, eggs, and oil in a mixing bowl.

Roll the dough into 1-1 1/2" balls and place on a greased cookie sheet (or on a stone cookie sheet without greasing it). Bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.

When the cookies come out of the oven, place about 6 or 7 mini marshmallows on top of each one. Then put the cookies back in the oven for 2 more minutes. The marshmallows will kind of puff up like this.

Remove the cookies and place on a cooling rack to cool. Once they are cooled completely, frost the tops. I had every intention of using the homemade frosting recipe above but time was just not letting me do it. Instead I had my husband run to the store and get me a can of whipped chocolate frosting. It was delicious on the cookies and made my life a whole lot easier! Either frosting is a good choice.
