Chocolate Marshmallow Mountain Cookies

Chocolate Marshmallow Mountains are my kind of mountain, full of chocolate and marshmallow!

Today’s cookie recipe is one I have had for years.  Years ago my sister-in-law Tricia and I both fell in love with these yummy chocolate/marshmallow cookies they sold at the mall.  We were both so sad when the store closed down, so Tricia found this recipe so we could make them ourselves at home. 

Beware, these cookies are rich and you may need to climb a few mountains after eating them to burn off the calories, but they are worth it.

After you pull the cookie out of the oven, top it with half of a large marshmallow, cut side down.

Then once they cool you get to cover that little marshmallow mountain with chocolate frosting.

I hope you enjoy these yummy little chocolate mountains and I bet you can’t eat just one either!
