Fudge And Marshmallow Topped Cocoa Cookies Cookie Mix Food

MARSHMALLOW FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly brush an 8-inch baking pan with butter, then line with parchment, leaving 2-inch overhang on two sides. Lightly butter parchment.
• In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, then cook for 3 minutes more, until pale golden and thickened slightly. Remove from heat and stir in marshmallows until mostly melted, then add chocolate and vanilla. Stir until chocolate and marshmallows have melted completely and mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared pan; smooth top with a spatula.
• Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Remove parchment with fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares. Fudge can be stored refrigerated, covered with plastic, up to 1 week.

FUDGE-MALLOW TOPPED COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup butter, the vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
• Shape dough by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls into 3/4-inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness with greased bottom of glass dipped in 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are set. Immediately top each cookie with 1 marshmallow. Return to oven; bake 2 minutes longer or until marshmallows are softened. Lightly press each marshmallow to flatten slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup sugar sugar, 1/4 cup butter and the milk over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Slowly stir in enough water until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Frosting sets up quickly, so thin as necessary with additional water.
• Swirl about 1 tablespoon Fudge Frosting on top of each cookie. Top with candy sprinkles. Let stand until frosting is set.

MARSHMALLOW FUDGE COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine diced marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and nuts in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Combine sugar, whole milk, unsweetened chocolate, and salt in a medium pot on the stove and boil to soft ball stage, watching for sticking and stirring frequently. (This is the tricky part -- you can't leave it- it can either stick or boil over).
• Gradually increase heat, stirring constantly. You are looking for a thick consistency and have to keep moving the heat up and down while stirring to try to reach soft ball stage. (If you don't make candy --- I don't, so I had to research this a bit --- and don't know what that means, here is how to do the soft ball test: have a bowl of cold water ready next to your stove. Drop a small amount of the mixture into the cold water to see if a ball forms. Once one does, you can remove the mixture from heat).
• Cool second mixture and add 1 t vanilla and 2 T butter. Mix well.
• Pour the sugar mixture into the bowl containing the marshmallow mixture, and mix well.
• Pack into a greased 9x13" pan and cool in fridge. Chill until firm.
• Cut into squares and toss in powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa.
• In a separate bowl, cream together shortening, vanilla, sugar and egg for about 2-3 minutes. Blend in dry ingredients and milk. Use cookie scoop to scoop onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes. While baking, blend all of the icing ingredients together until smooth.
• Remove cookies from oven, set 1 marshmallow half on each cookie and return to oven to bake for 1 more minute. Cool for 1-2 minutes, and then drop a spoonful of chocolate icing on each marshmallow topped cookie, letting it drizzle down the sides.
• Let the cookies set up for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
