1
Preheat oven to 350*.
-
2
COOKIES:
-
3
Cream shortening and sugar.
-
4
Add eggs, mixing well.
-
5
Stir in milk.
-
6
(is going to be VERY RUNNY, careful!:).
-
7
Add soda, salt, vanilla, cocoa, and flour.
-
8
Mix well.
-
9
**just a heads up** This dough is VERY SOFT.
-
10
Almost sticky even.
-
11
But I didn't add more flour, I left the recipe as it was.
-
12
Drop slightly heaping teaspoonfuls onto a sprayed cookie sheet.
-
13
(I did 12 to a sheet and they didn't spread out and touch each other).
-
14
Bake for 6 minutes.
-
15
Take out of the oven and top each cookie with 1 marshmallow half, cut side down.
-
16
Return to oven, bake an additional 3 minutes.
-
17
***Ifyou wanted to add a walnut half, I would do it at this point, stick it right into the soft marshmallow***.
-
18
Marshmallow will be puffy, but will fall a bit after being out of the oven awhile.
-
19
Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to cookie rack to finish cooling.
-
20
FROSTING:
-
21
Mix all ingredients well.
-
22
Take a small spoon, a teaspoon would be plenty, scoop up some frosting and drizzle over cookies.
-
23
The recipe says to spread cookies with frosting.
-
24
NO WAY!
-
25
It rips the marshmallow all up and looks awful.
-
26
So, I added a bit more milk than the original recipe called for, to make the frosting more like a glaze so it would look nicer.
