Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

chocoholic in AZ's Note:

chocolate brownie-like cookies with a marshmallow center frosted with chocolate frosting. This one came from an older lady friend (Amy Walling) I knew as a kid who also taught me to crochet. This cookie is not for someone who is watching their figure, very decadent. I always double the batch because these cookies do not last long and you have enough frosting for a double batch.

Decadent is an understatement! The chewy chocolate cookie combined with the gooey marshmallow filling and the fudge-like frosting really makes for an indulgent and delicious treat. Be careful to not let the cooked frosting sit too long before using it, mine started to set up while trying to frost the last half dozen cookies.

These cookies were a HUGE hit with my husband and kids. I added 1/2 cup choc. chips to the batter and used some German Chocolate marshmallows I found at a grocery store. Thanks for sharing we will definately be making these again.
