Wow, it’s 89 degrees today! Time to put a log on the fire and break out the sweaters…or do some baking. I made some Chocolate Frosted Marshmallow Cookies.

This recipe is based on something I got from a Yahoo group, but I believe the original cookie recipe is from Taste of Home. It’s a cousin to the old Aunt Ann Chocolate Sundae cookies, but different – no cherry, flatter, made with cocoa instead of chocolate and butter instead of shortening. And if you ask me, the icing is richer.

Chocolate Frosted Marshmallow Cookies Icing

Oh, and just so you know, the icing firms up so you can stack these. This is good news if you’re giving them away or taking them to work. I could stack these even before I chilled them, at which point the icing got very firm.

These are always a hit. The milk makes them cakey, but the cakiness goes well with the frosting and marshmallows. If you can, use whole milk.

    Oooh! I just saw this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine, so you're right about its origin! ToH has some fun issues out right now...I caved in and bought "Bake Sale" and "Fun Foods". Now I just need a time to make all these fun creations!!

    It's good to know that these would travel well. I have another bake sale coming up, and these have a good summery flavor with the marshmallows, too!

    Nancy, I shop all over the place, but we have a great H.E.B. near our house. Their store-brand products are very good.

    Lisa, I liked the icing too. You might get different results based on types of chocolate used. I used Ghirardelli unsweetened and Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chips for the semi-sweet. The icing isn't runny and the consistency is kind of strange at first. It seizes up a little bit and doesn't spread very smoothly, which I guess is why you have to pipe it out of a bag. It sets like a champ so it's worth it.

    Sue, it's been a while since I made the chocolate sundae cookies so I'm not sure. These are probably better the second day too.

    These look great! Are they moister than the Chocolate Sundae Cookies? The Chocolate Sundae Cookies are great but I think the texture is better the second day which is unusual for a cookies.

    Nashville has been having an amazing cool snap, with highs in the 70's, lows in the 50's. I've needed a sweater these last two mornings! The cookies look great and I really like the icing recipe. I can see using this for other purposes as well.

    Those look wonderful! I couldn't help but notice your "HEB" on the plate...I miss my Central Market and HEB. We moved from Texas 2 years ago and I still miss it!! But you guys have had the heat this year!! Whew!!

    My Mom first made those for Xmas 1963. I remember it well because we went to our TX cousins' house for the holidays & the car-top luggage rack was filled with "a thousand cookies". We were some happy 9 kids!

    Hi Anna, We're enjoying a bit of a cool snap ourselves...I think we made it up to 92 today, and now it's about to rain. Yippee! These cookies look great. I love that the icing firms up. Were the cookies chewy? I'm not a huge marshmallow fan, so I might try these with a big fat walnut half on top.

    Ahh, cool! It's only about 80 here today--the nicest thing is LOW humidity!

    Yeah for 89 in Austin!

    Yum to 'schmallows! You could roast them on the open fire!
