Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
(this recipe came from Robin Wilson)
Ingredients
2 boxes chocolate cake mix
4 large eggs
1 cup Crisco shortening
1 bag large marshmallows
Mix cake mix, eggs and shortening thoroughly. Make small balls the size of a quarter. Do not flatten. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 11-12 minutes or until cookies are starting to crack all over the top. While cookies are baking, cut the marshmallows in half with scissors. Remove cookie sheet from oven and place ½ of a large marshmallow (cut side down) on top of each cookie and return to oven for 1 minute. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on cookie sheet. Make frosting and put a large spoonful on top of each cookie. As soon as you frost the cookies you can sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top of each cookie.
Chocolate frosting
4 oz. cream cheese (or ½ a container of cream cheese spread. It is softer.)
1/3 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
milk-(enough to make a good spreading consistency)
Softer cream cheese and butter. Add other ingredients and beat until smooth. You might want to double the frosting recipe.
*This recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies.
