Ingredients

  • Frosting:
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. buttermilk or add 1/2 Tbls vinegar to milk

  • 1 1/2 T Milk (add more if too thick)
  • Add
  • 1 Cup powered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Sift the first four ingredients together.

Cream the shortening and sugar.

Add the last three ingredients. 18 marshmallows, cut in half (5-6 miniatures will substitute) add to cookie batter 1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts if desired Sift flour; measure; sift again with salt, soda, and cocoa.

Cream together shortening and sugar. Add vanilla, egg and milk. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet.

Bake in moderate oven (350) for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately press a half marshmallow, cut side down, on top of each cookie. Bake 2 minutes longer. Add dollop of fudge frosting while hot.

Frosting: Heat the first 3 ingredients in a microwave (makes frosting fudgier tasting). Beat together and put aside to top cookies.
