When I was a child in the 60s, my mother made a chocolate cookie wrapped around mini marshmallows (no chips). The molded cookies were rolled in sugar, too. They were wonderful. Years passed, my mother stopped baking for many years. While she now (in her 80′s) bakes again, she has lost this recipe. We have tried to recreate it, but without success. Does anyone remember this recipe?

My family has made these cookies for years! They are amazing. Follow Jenny’s notes about freezing the marshmallows and keeping the dough in the fridge and you’ll never go wrong! I found it really helps to use at least 3 cookie sheets so you can constantly rotate the sheets as you keep forming the dough/marshmallow balls. Enjoy!

I (finally) made these over the weekend, and it took a little work to get them right. Even if I wrapped the dough around the marshmallows, I had significant trouble with the marshmallows bursting out of the dough anyway. So, I reduced the number of marshmallows from 5 to 4 per cookie, and increased the amount of dough per cookie. Most of them turned out okay after this adjustment. You really have to make sure there is thick enough dough evenly covering the marshmallow filling. Even so, a couple of these looked a little strange – it isn’t a failsafe recipe. But they taste great!
