I had a lot of marshmallows left over from last week, so I decided to make another ooey gooey cookie!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup toasted walnut bits
1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chocolate chips
First, to see how to toast the walnuts, go to this link. You want them to be completely cool before you add them to the dough.
Preheat oven to 375.
With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Now add the walnuts, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
Roll dough into 1 or 2 inch balls and place on paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes, or until the top of the cookies start to look slightly dry.
Allow to cool and pour yourself a nice big glass of milk. 
These were another big hit. I made all the cookie recipes I’ve made in the last 6 weeks and took them to my niece’s and father’s joint birthday party. I wanted to get people’s opinions to see if I could make any improvements. I got nothing but good feedback. Which was kind of frustrating. My family is BRUTALLY honest, so I know they weren’t holding back trying to spare my feelings. One of my sisters said I should add nuts to the maple cookies, which gave me a different idea all together that I’ll be trying in two weeks. Next week I’m going to try to make plain old chocolate chip cookies, but with a few tricks I picked up reading articles from fancy-schmancy New York bakers.
Anyway, you guys come back on Monday because I’ll be having my very first GIVE AWAY!! WOOOO!

I’ve been a fan of your cookies (made the smores twice already, they were a hit) and wish you would bring back cookie friday
Anyways, today I made these (minus the nuts) and a macro booth from here:

Combined to make this:

Thanks again for recipes, hope you notice this old post!

I did notice! It just took a while because Wordpress sent it to the “spam folder” because of the links. No biggie, though. I dug you out and un-spammed ya.
I’m happy you liked the cookies! Yours look great! I hope to bring back cookie Friday, soon. The husband changed jobs so I didn’t have anyone to make them for, but now he has a team of cookie appreciating peoples. I’m trying to think of something really wacky.

I am excited to try these cookies. I don’t want to make the same cookies I make every year this year. Without my father-in-law here this year, I don’t feel like making the cookies that kept him happy from Thanksgiving to the middle of January. I will be making these cookies in the next few days with my boys.

Hello! These look absolutely delectable! I’m just wondering how many cookies this recipe makes. I want to make them for a BBQ.

Great recipe! I put Heath toffee pieces in it too. Phenomenal!

I just tried these cookies and they sure don’t look like the picture. Much flatter and the marshmallows melt and become crispy around the edges. Any suggestions? I really wanted a cake like cookie. (like your pic). Thanks Diann

Flat cookies almost always means the person used margarine instead of real butter trying to cut the calorie count down. If the butter is in a plastic tub it probably will make your cookies flat and crispy/oily. Better to use unsalted butter from the box. At least that is my best guess from same things happening to friends who have tried one of my own recipes.

Tried these today, mine were also flat and marshmallows got crispy. I assure you I used real butter and checked my baking soda for its expiration date. I found they come out better when you leave the marshmallow out of the batter, and simply top each ball w one marshmallow. This keeps the melty mallow on top, rather than burned to a crisp on the bottom or inside. Give it a try! Thanks for the recipe!

Ok so when I read this recipe I noticed one big thing and that was not enough marshmallows, pecans and chips.. I put a quarter more of each and that really worked. If you do this then you won’t have such a flat cookie..
Also a problem maybe that you are not refrigerating the cookie dough long enough..
Using margarine or butter they have the same Kcals.. Butter will give you a better product though..
But overall a GREAT cookie.. I am off to look for another fab recipe from you..
