Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

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.
