I don’t make cookies often enough (probably because I’m obsessed with making cupcakes), but I decided to make some for when my friend comes over for dinner tonight. Um, have you ever stopped to think about how many different types of cookies there are? After much searching, I found a recipe that involved chocolate and marshmallows. Yes, please.
Surprise cookies come from a Martha Stewart Kids recipe. But what differentiates a kid’s cookie from an adult’s cookie, I ask you? A simple marshmallow? Well, if that’s the case, I think I’d prefer to be a kid forever, thank you very much.
The batter for the cookies is simple to make with flour, cocoa powder, eggs, milk, vanilla, butter, sugar, and baking soda. The cookies are baked for 10 minutes, before you take them out of the oven and push half a marshmallow into the center of each. Then back in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Whisk up a quick frosting consisting of cocoa powder, confectioner sugar, vanilla, and milk and put a teaspoon of frosting in the center of the cookie, covering the marshmallow (hence the surprise part of the cookie).
Mmmm the cookies are deliciously chocolaty and gooey and make me feel like a kid again. And I think that’s a fabulous thing.[Sues]
I am SUCH a cookie person, and these look astoundingly good. I’m adding them to my “to bake” list.
Yes, I have a list. Shut up.
ps- I’m so glad you ladies started this blog, I’m really loving it.
Um, if these had peanut butter in them I’d def kill someone for one… Not really but you know what I mean… or maybe you don’t. Either way they look amazing.
Those are AMAZING looking. Delish!
Damn you, Susie.
I am SO making (or attempting) these this weekend!!! Chocolate, marshmellows and pb? my absolute fav
Yum, those look awesome.
Thanks for baking an entire batch of delicious marshmallow cookies and leaving almost all of them for your roommate to finish over the weekend….ill try to save you a few. Oh, and I love the peanut butter idea. Yum…
Cute blog! I’m going to have to try these with my kids this weekend – too fun.
Martha’s best cookie (IMHO) is her daughter Alexis’s chocolate chip cookies (google them). They’re really flat & buttery but they disappear instantly. My male co-workers bring in the ingredients & beg me to make them about once a month!
I cant beleive u guys r not fat from all this delicious food!
Congratulations, you sure have gotten the hang of following a recipe precisely for the first time. Once you taste it, the second time you make anything you can alter it to your own taste!
