I was almost worried that I wouldn't get these cookies done because of VBS, but have no fear the Cookie Maker is here!
On the first day of VBS we had to say our name and what we like to do. I told our kindergartners that my name was Ms. Patsy and I enjoyed making cookies. For some reason they dubbed me the next week "Cookie Maker". They would scream, "Cookie Maker! Where's our cookies! Make us some cookies."...a little scary actually with 13 6-year olds yelling at you. Anyways, I decided to grant their wish and made cookies this morning with the help of my niece and brought them the cookies this evening. It sort of worked out perfect because a little boy in the class had a birthday today, so we just made the cookies a "birthday snack".
They were pretty good, very rich actually. I loved the "surprise" inside.
SURPRISE COOKIES
Ingredients:
(for the cookie)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
About 15 marshmallows, halved crosswise
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees . Make cookies. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl
2. Put butter and sugar into the bowl and mix until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg, milk and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time until mixed
3. Drop dough on to baking sheets and bake until firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately press a marshmallow half on top of each cookie. Bake until marshmallow begins to melt, 2 minutes more. Let cool completely on sheets on wire rack.
4. Make frosting: Melt butter, add cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Whisk in confectioner's sugar.
5. Spread icing over marshmallow to cover it. Let stand until set, about 10 minutes
Kids seemed to like them, hope you do too!
