Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

Source  Our Best Bites
Recipe Added:  2/9/2012
1 chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup shortening or butter
2 eggs
12 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup milk
1 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Combine cake mix, eggs, and shortening (ignore instructions on box) in bowl of  mixer and mix until well combined. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies appear done but are still soft in center.

While cookies are baking, use a pair of kitchen shears (spray with spray to keep from sticking) to cut each marshmallow in half. When cookies have baked, remove pan from oven and place a marshmallow half on each cookie, cut side down. 

Return pan to oven for about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and very gently push each marshmallow down. Cool completely and repeat with remaining cookie dough.

When cookies have cooled, combine powdered sugar and cocoa in bowl. Add butter, melted, vanilla, and evaporated milk and beat on high until smooth, light, and fluffy. Transfer frosting to an icing bag fitted with a large tip and swirl onto cookies. Makes 24 cookies.
