I made this for my family last night and they were gone as soon as they were out of the oven. 3 boys and a husband asked if i will make them again tonight!

These are awesome! I kept out the nuts and made up for it with the pecans. Oh, my! Make sure to stick the marshmallows in well to the cookie. I also used half butter and half butter flavored shortening. These came out like chocolate gooey goodness in the middle. YUM! Thanks for posting!
