Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 chocolate cake mix we prefer Duncan Hines
  • ½ cup shortening butter-flavored
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 marshmallows large

Frosting

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • cup evaporated milk
  • 1 lb. powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Combine cake mix, eggs, and shortening in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer and mix until well combined. Drop dough by the tablespoon onto a baking sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the cookies appear done but are still soft in the center.
  • While the cookies are baking, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half. When the cookies have baked, remove the pan from the oven and place a marshmallow half on each cookie, cut side down. Return the pan to the oven for about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and very gently push each marshmallow down. Allow to cool completely and repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Frosting

  • When the cookies have cooled completely, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Add melted butter, vanilla, and evaporated milk and beat on high until smooth, light, and fluffy. Transfer the frosting to an icing bag fitted with a large tip and swirl onto the cookies.
