HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

I stumbled across this recipe yesterday while looking for a good pecan cookie...and boy was I glad I did!!

These taste like a mini chocolate cake. The marshmallow on top is so cute!! We will have to add these to our tins each year!

3/4 cup Butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup instant milk chocolate hot cocoa mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
48 large marshmallows, cut in half crosswise*

Glaze Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine 3/4 cup butter and sugar in large bowl.

Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.

Add eggs, 1/4 cup milk and vanilla.

Continue beating until well mixed.

Reduce speed to low; add flour, cocoa mix and baking soda.

Beat until well mixed.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until set.

Remove from oven; top each cookie with marshmallow half, cut-side down.

Continue baking for 1 to 2 minutes until marshmallow just begins to puff.

Immediately remove cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, place powdered sugar into medium bowl; set aside. Combine all remaining glaze ingredients in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. Pour mixture over powdered sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Immediately spoon glaze over cooled cookies. Store between sheets of waxed paper in a loosely covered container.
