Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaways

Hi guys!

I know you just heard from me yesterday, but its hard not to post when there are so many good recipes to share. I’m taking a break from soup and veggies to share a scrumptious treat. In fact, the next few Tried and True recipes will all be sweets. Sorry, but not sorry! ;

These Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaways were quick to make and easy to eat! I’ve never been a fan of butter flavored shortening, so we used regular. Other than that, we stuck close to the original recipe. Why mess up a good thing? I loved the combination of the thick, chewy cookie, with the fluffy marshmallow in the middle, and the silky frosting on top. So good! And it makes a lot, so this is a great recipe for your next holiday party!

Here is the recipe…

Serves: 36

Ingredients

½ cup shortening
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup baking cocoa
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
18 large marshmallows, halved

FROSTING:

3 TB butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3 TB baking cocoa
⅛ tsp salt
4 - 6 TB milk

Instructions

Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; gradually add dry mixture to shortening and mix well.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and press a marshmallow half, cut side down, onto each cookie; bake for 2 minutes longer. Remove to cool.
In a small bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, cocoa and salt until smooth. Add milk to achieve your desired consistency. Frost and Enjoy!
