Kids are thrilled to find a marshmallow hidden under this cookie's cocoa frosting. I enjoyed these cookies as a child, and now my own family loves them, too. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1/4 cup 2% milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
18 large marshmallows, halved |
frosting: |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
4 to 6 tablespoons 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Press a marshmallow half, cut side down, onto each cookie; bake 2 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. In a small bowl, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa and salt until smooth. Add enough milk to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cookies. Yield: 3 dozen.
