Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

Toasted marshmallows and chocolate - YUM.  Next time I make these, I may even crush up graham crackers and roll dough balls in them before baking.  Voila - SMORES.

  1 1/2 Cups Mini Marshmallows                                                 6 Tbl Butter

  2/3 Cup All Purpose Flour                                                        5 Large Eggs

  2 Tsp Baking Powder                                                               1 Cup Sugar

  1 Tsp Salt                                                                                 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar

  2 Ounces Unsweetened Chocolate                                            1 1/2 Tsp pure vanilla extract

  4 Ounces Bittersweet Chocolate                                               11.5 Ounce Milk Chocolate Chips

  1 Lb Mini Chocolate Chips                                                     

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or nonstick foil; set aside. Heat oven to 250 degrees, spread marshmallows on pan and bake about 8 - 10 minutes - should be puffed, may not be browned.  DO NOT ALLOW TO BROWN.

In a heat proof bowl, or in the top of a double boiler, set over a pot of simmering water, melt together unsweetened, bittersweet and milk chocolates and butter; set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.  In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the melted chocolate mixture and combine on low speed.  Add flour mixture, and continue to beat on low speed until almost combined.   Mix in marshmallows and mini chocolate chips.  Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes then move to a cooling rack.
