The Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange is my favorite blog hop of the year.
Okay, I really love them all, but this one is a tradition on my blog.
It started in 2013 and I missed only one year for reasons I don't remember.
The challenge was to share any of the items listed below:
Christmas recipe (cookies or something else food related)
A favorite Christmas memory
Christmas quilt/project or gift idea
My project is a remake of a different quilt pattern from a few years ago.
I made this one a little bigger and changed the fabrics.
A TOUCH OF CHRISTMAS
65" X 65"
Fabrics are Benartex's "Peace On Earth" by Amanda Murphy
This year my recipe/baking adventure was done a gazillion miles away in Ohio without me.
It seems that far anyway, now that the Monkey Boys and Monkey Girl moved there.
Thank you to my beautiful daughter and Monkey Boy #4 for helping me out!
CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW COOKIES
Makes 24 cookies
One Devil’s Food cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable oil)
12 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups powdered sugar
12 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine cake mix, eggs, and oil in bowl and mix
well.
Scoop tablespoon sized dough balls onto a baking sheet that has been
sprayed with cooking
spray or lined with parchment paper, then roll the dough
in your hands to make smoother balls.
While the cookies are baking, cut each marshmallow
in half with cooking shears.
You can spray the shears with cooking spray so the
marshmallows don’t stick.
When the cookies are done, place a marshmallow half, cut side down, on each cookie
and bake in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Remove cookies from the oven and lightly flatten each marshmallow down.
While the cookies cool, make the frosting. Melt the butter and mix in the cocoa powder and
vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and milk and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer
on high for a few minutes until smooth.
Frost the cookies with a piping bag or spread the frosting over the cookies with a knife
or spatula to cover the marshmallows completely.
Enjoy the rest of the cookie!
Please take a peek at all the other wonderful sweets, treats, quilts, bags, and
gift ideas. Comments are always appreciated!
