The winner of the Board Game Giveaway is Yvonne Blevins, number 279! Congratulations! I will be contacting you today by email so we can get your packages sent out.  Thanks to all those who entered and for leaving your game recommendations.

Let’s talk about the glorious nature of the recipe I am sharing with you today. Now, let it be known that I don’t like to play favorites. All the recipes I share with you are fantastic, tasty, family pleasing concoctions.  But, if I had to line all of the recipes up in a row that I have tried and tasted over the past few months and tell you which one is my very favorite…it would be these cookies, ladies and gentlemen. Hands down, no contest. They are absolutely divine. That is, if you love a chewy chocolate cookie, topped with a melted marshmallow and slathered in a satiny smooth chocolate frosting.

I mean really. Who wouldn’t love that! Shut the front door and find me a girdle, they are one tempting treat.  If you hate chocolate and marshmallows, just avert your eyes. No harm done. See me another day for a chocolate free recipe of wonder. I will be thinking and thinking of what that could be…

A sweet friend and neighbor brought a batch of these cookies to the annual bake sale we held last month and man, they were a hit.  I immediately hit her up for the recipe which she was happy to share with me and all of you. It comes from her late Grandmother and is a family treasure. Thanks for sharing them with us, Allison. 🙂 Can’t wait to make them again.

Now, let me show you how to make it happen.

Like this. 🙂 Pop them back into the oven for 2 minutes longer.
8. Remove them from the oven and allow them to rest on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

9. To make the frosting place 1 cup butter, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1/3 cup milk into a medium-sized sauce pan. Bring the ingredients to a boil over medium high heat, stirring continually.

10. Into a large mixing bowl place 4 cups powdered sugar. Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the top of the powdered sugar.

Beat to combine. As the frosting cools it will set up a bit more.

11. Frost the tops of the cookies…

Don’t they look lovely! I wish I were eating one right now.

If you want to make them with a kick of peppermint for the holidays, just crush some peppermint candy canes with a rolling-pin…

and sprinkle them on the freshly frosted cookies.

I love this recipe. I use the large peppermint marshmallows and used canned chocolate frosting.

What is the best way to store these cookies & for how long?

Carolyn,
I would store them in an airtight container, with wax paper between each layer of cookies. They are good for a couple of days after they are made. Good luck! Hope you love them. 🙂

I made these last night to take to work. I wasn’t sure at first, I tasted the dough and it tasted like fake butter. However, after you put on the marshmallow and frosting it is all good. I only got 22 out of this recipe, and halved the frosting and it was perfect. If I’d made all the frosting there would have been so much left over.

I was going to make these for a wedding and was wondering if I could make in advance and freeze. Sometimes chocolate can turn white from the freezer and I didn’t want to ruin the 10 dozen that I have to make. I was wondering if you had any experience with freezing this cookie

Hi Lucine,
I haven’t ever tried freezing these before, but I think it would work out well for you. The chocolate on the top is more of a frosting than a pure chocolate coating so it shouldn’t get spotty on you. I would suggest making batch and freezing then to make sure they work well before making 10 dozen. Wow! That sounds like a ton of work, however…they are worth it. 🙂 Good luck! Let me know if you freeze them and how it works out.

Jamie! Hello, beautiful friend. Just wanted you to know these cookies are a HIT with my family. We even made some Halloween versions. One set had no frosting (which is unfortunate, but makes a cute ghost with some googly eyes) and then the rest with the frosting and a chocolate kiss on top to make a “witch hat.” Thank you!!
