Hi Leigh Anne, thank you for great looking (and I am sure tasting) cookie! I do not know what you mean by shortening, as I am a purist and use butter mostly.
Leigh Anne says
Crisco is a name brand of shortening. Feel free to substitute butter though if you prefer.
CHRISTINE says
doesn’t Crisco have hydrogenated oil?
Leigh Anne says
Christine, Not anymore.

I just made these for a work function and I added a Sno-Cap to the top to enhance the moutain-look. they were a total hit! I’m going to use the basic chocolate drop cookie recipe and try a bunch of different things in it besides marshamallow. First on the list…Rolos!
Leigh Anne says
So glad they were a hit – I love Rolos and think they would be amazing in this cookie!!
Danelle says
I dream of Grandma’s cookie shop at the Vancouver Mall and these were my childhood favorite. Thanks for the recipe!
Leigh Anne says
Erin, I find that the frosting does harden enough that I can stack them in a container. Hope you enjoy them!!
Erin Kingrey says
Any ideas on how to store these? I am frosting them as I type, and wondering if they weill get too hard…but they’re still to “wet” to layer… any tips? Thanks!
