Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 chocolate or Devil's Food cake mix I only use Duncan Hines for these
- ½ cup shortening butter-flavored, or butter
- 2 eggs
- 12 marshmallows large
Frosting
- ½ cup butter melted
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup evaporated milk
- 1 lb. powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Combine dry cake mix (ignore the directions on the box), eggs, and ½ cup shortening or softened butter 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 7-8 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and almost done but still soft in the center.
- While the cookies are baking, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half horizonally. 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 (I like a Wilton 1M) and swirl onto the cookies.
Notes
- Store finished cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy within 2-3 days for best results.
- Feel free to add extracts or flavoring oils to the cookie dough or frosting. You could even get a different flavor of cake mix if you'd like!
