I adore a good cookie. I mean, portable, hand-held, easily consumed, kid-friendly, and the variations are truly endless. I might have mentioned a few times that my boys have an obsession with marshmallows – especially in cookies. I quite literally have to hide the marshmallow bags because if they see one, it’s gone.
We have an ottoman in our family room and I’ve taken to hiding my bags of marshmallows and other goodies that are for the blog in there. It worked perfectly until the boys discovered this secret hiding spot a few weeks ago and now think it’s perfectly acceptable to open it up and pick out their favorite treats. #momfail
I decided I better quickly make these cookies for you before the marshmallows disappeared so here they are!
If you’ve been a reader for long, you know that I have a favorite chocolate cookie recipe. It’s super easy, no mixer required, and produces amazingly soft chocolate cookies that are the perfect base for so many creations.
I took these up a notch today.
Instead of adding water to the dough, I added coffee. Duh. I mean it really brings out even more chocolate flavor.
Then I went and topped each cookie with a half of a large marshmallow and then because if we’re eating cookies, let’s eat a cookie, I topped that with a rich chocolate frosting.
I debated on the frosting and was actually decided between the chocolate peanut butter glaze I used on this Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pound Cake and the frosting that I ended up using. Either would be amazing.
The verdict is in. These are my boys’ new favorite cookie – soooo good!
