Betty Crocker Prize-Winning Recipe 2009! Indulge in chocolate-frosted cookies with a marshmallow center made easier with a cookie mix.


Cookies:

1 pouch Betty Crocker* Double Chocolate Chunk cookie mix

¼ cup (50 mL) vegetable oil

2 tbsp (25 mL) water

1 egg

2/3 cup (150 mL) chopped pecans

12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Frosting:

1 cup (250 mL) semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)

1/3 cup (75 mL) whipping cream

1 tsp (5 mL) butter or margarine

1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla

½ cup (125 mL) icing sugar


  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water egg and pecans until soft dough forms.

  • On ungreased baking sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

  • 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 baking sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart (1 L) nonstick saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add whipping cream, butter and vanilla; blend well. Stir in icing sugar until smooth.

  • Spread frosting over each cooled cookie, covering marshmallow. Let stand until frosting is set.
