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.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter, at room temperature shopping list
- ¼ cup solid Crisco shortening shopping list
- 1 cup white sugar shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- ½ cup whole milk or half and half (I prefer half and half) shopping list
- 1¾ cups flour shopping list
- ½ cup cocoa (use the Special dark cocoa for a richer chocolate) shopping list
- ½ teaspoon salt shopping list
- ½ teaspoon baking soda shopping list

- Chocolate Frosting: shopping list
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted shopping list
- 4 tablespoons cocoa shopping list
- dash of salt shopping list
- 2 cups powdered sugar shopping list
- 4 or 5 tablespoons milk or half and half shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
