Cuckoo Cookies Recipes

CUCKOO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• COOKIES:.
• Cream shortening and sugar.
• Add eggs, mixing well.
• Stir in milk.
• (is going to be VERY RUNNY, careful!:).
• Add soda, salt, vanilla, cocoa, and flour.
• Mix well.
• **just a heads up** This dough is VERY SOFT.
• Almost sticky even.
• But I didn't add more flour, I left the recipe as it was.
• Drop slightly heaping teaspoonfuls onto a sprayed cookie sheet.
• (I did 12 to a sheet and they didn't spread out and touch each other).
• Bake for 6 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and top each cookie with 1 marshmallow half, cut side down.
• Return to oven, bake an additional 3 minutes.
• ***Ifyou wanted to add a walnut half, I would do it at this point, stick it right into the soft marshmallow***.
• Marshmallow will be puffy, but will fall a bit after being out of the oven awhile.
• Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to cookie rack to finish cooling.
• FROSTING:.
• Mix all ingredients well.
• Take a small spoon, a teaspoon would be plenty, scoop up some frosting and drizzle over cookies.
• The recipe says to spread cookies with frosting.
• NO WAY!
• It rips the marshmallow all up and looks awful.
• So, I added a bit more milk than the original recipe called for, to make the frosting more like a glaze so it would look nicer.
