Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

Cookie:

3 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup cocoa

1 cup shortening

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup milk

Big marshmallows, cut in half

Frosting:

1 cup brown sugar

6 tablespoons margarine

1/2 cup water

4 tablespoons cocoa

3 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla

Cookie:

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa.  Cream together remaining ingredients except marshmallows.  Add dry ingredients, mixing well.  Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  Remove from oven and press half a marshmallow, cut side down on each cookie.  Return to oven 2 minutes more to partially melt marshmallows.  Cool on pan 2 minutes then remove to cooling rack.  When cookies are cooled, frost.

Frosting: 

Put brown sugar, margarine, water and cocoa in pan and bring to boil.  Remove from heat and cool.  Add powdered sugar and vanilla.  Spread on marshmallow and cookie.

If there is left over frosting, I put it on graham crackers.

Enjoy!
