There’s a cookie link party going on today over at Bake at 350! Cookies galore over there!
If you visit me here in this little corner of the blog-world, you k
now how much I adore Marshmallow Cream, or as The Husband calls it…Crack Cream.(Because it’s addictive …like crack)
Anyhoo, I thought I might start a little something fun during the holidays…Marshmallow Monday’s!
Doesn’t that sound … yumalicious, for lack of a better word.
I’m starting really slow today. This recipe is from Southern Living and has only 3 tiny marshmallows per cookie. We’re taking baby steps. I don’t want to scare anyone off.
These are Mississippi Mud Cookies…and WOW! They are just scrumptious. A thin crispy layer and an almost fuggy inside…and th
en there’s the toasted marshmallows on top! Good grief. Ya, may want to save this recipe for Christmas Eve cookies for Santa.
They are an “Editors Choice” in my Southern Living Cookbook, which means I’m not the only one singing their praises. And, Hallelujah! I AM singing their praises!
Mississippi Mud Cookies
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup butter, soft
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
* 3 mini marshmallows per cookie!
Microwave semisweet chips until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds (app. 1 minute)
Beat butter and sugar until creamy; add eggs beating after each one until blended. Beat in melted chocolate and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in chopped pecans and milk chocolate chips.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Press 3 marshmallows into each portion of dough.
Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until they are set. Remove to cool on rack. (app. 3 dozen)
You will love these cookies!

I will definitely have to add these cookies to my list for our annual cookie baking day in December. The women in my family all get together and spend one whole day baking cookies at our church. They have about six ovens so it’s just a wonderful way to do it. I can’t wait to share this recipe with the others. Thank you Robin. I love getting your posts in my reader every day.
Those look so good. My oldest son and I LOVE marshmallow’s. So, I’ll be sure to try these. The book sounds like a good Christmas read too!
The cookies and the book look great. What better way to send an evening, reading and eating these cookies!
Thanks

Thank God there are pecans in these or might have been tempted to come to Georgia and steal them off your plate.
Excuse me while I go eat a marshmallow.

Gitz…I’ll leave out the pecans just for you next time! And I believe it was you who launched my marshmallow addiction with microwave s’mores!!! smooch
God Bless You. I would love to read the book you’re giving away. Thanks for your great website.

My hips got bigger with every cookie shot. Is this book as good as his others.
Cookies sound divine.I have everything on hand but the pecans.
Living a legacy. Sounds fantastic. We’ve been thinking a lot about that lately. My grandmother is dying of pancreatic cancer, and my little sister (age 25)had a cancerous kidney removed today.
Every day, every word counts.
Wendy…prayers for your sis and grand-ma. Your family is under a lot of stress right now, I’ll continue to hold you close in prayer…hugs

These cookies look amazing! I love that the marshmallows are on top and a bit toasty, rather then mixed into the cookie batter!
I love eating toasted marshmallows…I like them when they are a little burnt!

I have the previous books that were written. I loved the tv movie with Thrad Thomas about the first of the books.
The recipe for the chocolate cookies looks fabuous and if made will not stay around very long. Everyone will probably dive right in.
I’ve never seen this cookie recipe before but it sure looks good!
