Mud Pie Cookies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago My young daughters fell in love with this cookie when my grandmother first served them back in the 1980s. How can you go wrong with chocolate and marshmallow together? I usually double the recipe because 3 dozen disappear too quickly. Prep:20m Cook:10m Servings:36	Krumkake
	chocolate and marshmallow heaven

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

¼ cup butter, at room temperature

¼ cup solid Crisco shortening

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup whole milk or half and half (I prefer half and half)

1¾ cups flour

½ cup cocoa (use the Special Dark cocoa for a richer chocolate)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

18 marshmallows cut in half

Chocolate Frosting:

3 tablespoons butter, melted

4 tablespoons cocoa

dash of salt

2 cups powdered sugar

4 or 5 tablespoons milk or half and half

Directions

Cream together butter, shortening and sugar.

Beat in egg, vanilla and milk.

Add flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; mix well.

Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet; flatten dough just a bit with your fingertips.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.

Remove cookies from oven, press half a marshmallow - cut side down - into center of each cookie and return to oven to bake an additional 2 minutes.

Remove cookies from oven and gently press down on marshmallow with your fingertips.

Cool cookies on waxed paper or rack.

When completely cooled, frost over the marshmallow topping with the chocolate frosting.

For frosting, beat all ingredients together, adding enough milk or half and half to make mixture spreadable.

My sister loves Pinwheels and we both love to cook. Can't wait to try them then will come back and rate for real!

krumkake 2 years, 1 month ago said:
Thanks, wilpri...if you saw Linebb's comment above yours, you saw that this was one of the recipes hit by the "fake foodies" (as I call them), who enjoy coming to this site and dishing out "1" ratings (anything below a "4" is anonymous, so it can be done without ever revealing who did it - something that the site owner is apparently in the process of fixing). Anyhow, I just wanted you to know I appreciate your comments, and to let you know the reason for the 3.8 rating. You're right - the cookies are much like pinwheels and are very tasty!

Krumcake, any idea if you can freeze these? I know that I'll have to make at least 2 batches of them. One for me and one for THEM! I want to hide mine in the freezer. (My father hid his pinwheels in there and couldn't figure out why the package was always empty! (We were smart kids!)) And I have a lock on my freezer!
Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to make them!

Looks great. just wanna know though if there is a replacement for the Crisco part as we in SA don't have things like that. Can't wait to try this.

What is Crisco as I am not familiar with it and doubt it whether it is available in South Africa.

Some people smoke, some people drink..I eat cookies...do they make a 12 step program for that?? LOL Thanks for sharing this recipe!

iluvrecipes 1 year, 5 months ago said:
This looks amazing and i will try but idk if theyll come out as good looking as yours did

vicschick 1 year, 4 months ago said:
You see...um...I don't think the cookies will reach the last step of assembly if Im making these....I'd be the one dipping the cookies and the marshmallows in the frosting and eating it all before they become mud pie cookies...they look great!!!

vicschick 1 year, 4 months ago said:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....thats so true...it's not easy to sample cake when you are baking but it sure is easy to disappear half a batch of cookies without anyone noticing. See my problem is really stopping myself from eating them almost right out of the oven...so Ill spend the rest of the day complaining of a burned palate

pinkpasta 1 year, 4 months ago said:
I actually book marked this recipe long ago, but don't think I commented.
They look absolutely scrumptious! Wish I had a big 'ol plate of some right now as I type!

dmajor 1 year, 4 months ago said:
These look like they would be worth the extra workout I will have to do to try them! Thanks for sharing! Yum!

michelle73 1 year, 3 months ago said:
I don't know if I should thank you for posting these or be mad at you for it! After looking at your dessert post tonight I went and looked at your other recipes and found these. I just had to go make them! They are so good! I didn't have enough icing sugar for the frosting so I made a chocolate chip glaze using Special Dark Chips. Then I just dunked them in and shook off the excess. Now get over here and get them before I eat them all!
