Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

This has been one of our family favorites for years -- chocolate-marshmallow combination is delicious!

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
halved marshmallows

Directions:
Sift together flour, soda, salt and cocoa. Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and milk mixing well. Mix in dry ingredients. Add nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 8 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove cookie sheet and put half of a large marshamallow, cut side down, on each cookie. Bake 2 minutes (NO MORE). Cool. Frost with icing (and top with pecan half if desired).

To make icing: Combine 5 teaspoons cocoa, 2 cups powdered sugar, dash of salt, 3 tablespoons melted butter and 4 tablespoons light cream (or milk).

These are awesome! They taste like brownies.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 squares of unsweetened chocolate (melted)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup powdered sugar
Mix oil, melted chocolate and granulated sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and stir into oil mixture. Cover and chill dough for several hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put a teaspoonful of chilled dough in the palm of your hands and make a ball. You may have to "grease your hands" with oil or shortening. Roll the ball of dough around in the powdered sugar until all it's surface is covered. Place the balls of dough about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Overbaking changes the texture of the cookies from a soft cookie to a harder cookie.

Makes about 5 to 6 dozen cookies.

These are awesome! They taste like brownies.
