Mississippi Mud Cookies

DSC08770 2

I made homemade marshmallows the other day, and ate my first s'more. Oh my. There goes the diet! I loved them soo much, I ate like 5 of them, and they were huge!

I've also joined this new blogging group, the secret recipe club, headed by Amanda of Amanda's Cookin. We're allotted a different blog each month, which is kept a secret till posting date, I got Amanda's blog itself :) Its a lot of fun, go to her blog if you want to register.

So anyway, I was looking for a recipe in her blog, plus I wanted to make something with the marshmallows. And I found this cookie! It was perfect, and it looked gorgeous! It tastes gorgeous too, the almost brownie-ish cookie, with the stringy, gooey marshmallows. Ah yum! Do try them, its a very easy recipe, came together in like 10 minutes!
