SUNDAE COOKIES

Category: Cookies

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp soda and salt
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 tbsp milk
1/4 cup cherry juice
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Some large marshmallows, cut in half

Preheat oven to 350. Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment. Cream brown sugar, butter, egg and vanilla until well blended. Add melted unsweetened chocolate and mix well. Add dry ingredients with milk, cherry juice, cherries, nuts and mix until well blended. Drop by tsp onto cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press a “Jet-Puffed” marshmallow in the center. Let the cookies sit on cookie sheet until sturdy enough to transfer, then move to a wire rack. Spoon glaze over marshmallow, covering it completely. Cap with a stemmed cherry or cherry half.

Glazing Options.
If you like canned frosting, you can use that. Soften it in the microwave for 20 seconds, stir, and spoon over top. Otherwise, make your own glaze.

4 tbsp butter
