Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

These Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies are so divine, they just melt in your mouth!

I was at my son’s high school basketball game the other day and I was passing around chocolate cookies that I had made.  When I offered a cookie to one of the grandpas, he politely passed and told me he didn’t like chocolate.  I think my jaw hit the floor.  I couldn’t believe it, how could anyone not like chocolate?   I told him he was CRAZY!!  You see…

I absolutely LOVE chocolate.  

I crave it.  

I adore it.  

I have it stashed throughout my house.  

I can’t live without it.

Yes I am a chocolate addict, a chocoholic, a chocolate junkie, which is why I love these cookies.  They are absolutely divine, they melt in your mouth, they are scrumptious, etc.

I normally make these cookies with regular flavor marshmallows, but this time I made them using chocolate mint marshmallows.  They were so yummy.  The mint was very subtle, so if I do make them again using the mint marshmallows, I may had a drop or two of mint extract to the cookie dough.  Whatever flavor of marshmallow you try, you will be in love with these cookies.  If you’re not, I think there might be something seriously wrong with you.
