Cookies are a perennial favourite in this household, and for the majority chocolate wins every everytime. So as you can imagine, I spend a lot of time thinking up new exciting cookie ideas. I can think of a lots worse ways to spend my time!
So picture a deep, intense freshly baked chocolate cookie, with crisp edges and a soft and slightly chewy interior? Sounds good? Well, let me make it even better….. Now picture a deeply chocolatey freshly baked cookie, with crisp edges and a soft and slightly chewy interior, wrapped around a sweet vanilla melted marshmallow with has remained gooey even once it has set. That does sound better doesn’t it!
These mallow stuffed cookies are a revelation, they’ve quickly become a firm favourite. Little S took one into school in her packed lunch and her friends all asked for a nibble and then asked where to buy them. High praise indeed 🙂

- Take tablespoon or two sized amounts of the chocolate dough and pat out to a small round. Place a marshmallow in the middle of each and bring the sides up and around to form a chocolate ball with no gaps.

- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool for a couple more minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- These cookies keep well for a few days in a sealed container, and are lovely warmed for 20 seconds in a microwave before eating.

I would never think to put marshmallows in a cookie but this looks soooo good!
Hmmm……I have a baking sheet of melted goo! If only I knew how to post a picture. I can get everything on your website to work perfectly except these. Wonder if I should have chilled them for a bit as the dough was quite soft
Hmm that’s odd, I’ve never had that happen. Did you make sure the mallows were entirely covered by the dough?
