Category: Cookies
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 cups flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder and salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, slightly firm, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup broken toasted pecans
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
2 cups mini-marshmallows

Glaze
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp boiling water

Preheat oven to 350. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together 3 times. Set aside.

Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beat 1 minute longer. Add the eggs and mix until combined. Mix in the sour cream and the vanilla.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing just until blended. Using a large rubber spatula, fold in the pecans and chocolate chips.

Using about a quarter cup measure, shape dough into mounds and place 3 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until just starting to set on top. Remove from the oven and press nine or ten mini-marshmallows at random onto the tops. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 2 minutes or just until the marshmallows start to soften. Do not allow the marshmallows to become too hot or they will melt. These cookies are best slightly under baked.

Let rest on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes or until firm enough to handle before loosening with a large metal spatula. Remove to a wire cooling rack set over a jelly roll pan or a sheet of wax paper.

Glaze the Cookies: Combine the chocolate chips and the butter in a medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Melt together, stirring occasionally. [Or microwave for 30 seconds or so] Add the boiling water , ½ tsp at a time, to thin to a pouring consistency. Using a spoon or a fork, drizzle the glaze over each cookie. Let stand on the cooling racks until the glaze sets.

Note: I left out the boiling water, spooned the glaze into a heavy duty zipper bag, snipped a tiny hole in the bottom corner and squeezed the glaze out the corner.
