Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

(this recipe came from Robin Wilson)

Ingredients

2 boxes chocolate cake mix (Swiss chocolate, German chocolate, devil’s food etc.)

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.
