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

Chocolate Marshmallow Mountains

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. 

Chocolate Marshmallow Mountains

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!

    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.

      Crisco is a name brand of shortening. Feel free to substitute butter though if you prefer.

        doesn’t Crisco have hydrogenated oil?

    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!

    I dream of Grandma’s cookie shop at the Vancouver Mall and these were my childhood favorite. Thanks for the recipe!

    Erin, I find that the frosting does harden enough that I can stack them in a container. Hope you enjoy them!!
