Hey Better Recipes! There was a bit of confusion in yesterday’s newsletter regarding the recipe for these cookies. We have been inundated with requests for the secret behind the mouthwatering photo, and here it is! Get ready for “Chocolate Marshmallow Pillows.” Better Recipes Facebook Fan, Tammy, just made them for a graduation party and they where a huge hit. (Thanks for the great photo, Tammy!) Give them a try for yourself and let us know how they turn out!
CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW PILLOWS
Cookies:
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1 egg
2/3 cup chopped pecans
12 large marshmallows, cut in half
Frosting:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup powdered sugar
1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water, egg and pecans until soft dough forms.
2. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.
3. Bake 7 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately press marshmallow half lightly, cut side down, on top of cookie. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or just until marshmallows begin to soften. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in 1-quart nonstick saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add whipping cream, butter and vanilla; blend well. Stir in powdered sugar until smooth.
5. Spread frosting over each cooled cookie, covering marshmallow. Let stand until frosting is set.
