Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie Recipe

I have gotten many requests for this recipe and since it is so simple and most of them live far away :) (just kidding) I decided I would give it out.

 Tip: I use the stackable marshmallows

Ingredients

1 box of chocolate cake mix (I like devils food)

1/2 cup of butter

2 eggs

1 tablespoon of pure vanilla

1 bag of large marshmallows (cut each marshmallow in half and set aside)

Chocolate frosting recipe below

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. With an electric mixer, cream butter (apx. 2 minutes)

3. Add cake mix, eggs and vanilla - mix until blended

4. Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheet lined with parchment (I use a medium cookie scoop)

5. Bake @ 350 for 8- 9 minutes

6. Remove cookies from oven and quickly place 2-3 marshmallow halves sticky side down on top of the cookie

7. Place pan back in oven for 1 minute

8. Remove cookies again and use the back of a buttered spoon to lightly flatten and spread the melted marshmallow across the top of each cookie

9. Allow to cool and frost with the chocolate frosting, making sure to cover all the marshmallow

10. Eat, eat, and try to share :)
