Chocolate Marshmallow Pillows

Day 8 of the Betty Crocker 24 cookies of Christmas came to my email. It was these dreamy chocolate marshmallow pillows. A chocolate lovers dream!


INGREDIENTS

1

pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® double chocolate chunk cookie mix

 

1/4

cup vegetable oil

2

tablespoons water

1

egg

2/3

cup chopped pecans

12

large marshmallows, cut in half

Frosting

1

cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)

1/3

cup whipping cream

1

teaspoon butter or margarine

1

teaspoon vanilla

1/2

cup powdered sugar

 

 

DIRECTIONS

 

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water, egg and pecans until soft dough forms.
2. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.
3. Bake 7 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately press marshmallow half lightly, cut side down, on top of cookie. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or just until marshmallows begin to soften. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in 1-quart nonstick saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add whipping cream, butter and vanilla; blend well. Stir in powdered sugar until smooth.
5. Spread frosting over each cooled cookie, covering marshmallow. Let stand until frosting is set.
