We found this recipe for these chocolate cookies years ago, and it is the perfect vehicle for almost anything.  We also love the flavor of the marshmallows with chocolate. So we added two great things together and came up with these yummy Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallow Frosting!  The cake-y cookies really combine well with the delicious sweet and creamy Marshmallow Frosting.  Pretty, yummy, and easy to make – our absolute favorite dessert combination.

Frosting the Cookies

Step 5: Gather up your cookies and your Marshmallow Frosting.
Step 6: Use a knife to frost the Chocolate Cookies with the frosting.
Step 7: Place 10-12 Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers in a plastic bag. Melt them in the microwave. Once melted, cut the tip off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the Mint Frosting.  (Make sure you only cut the very very tip of the bag. You only want a small hole to give yourself more control over the drizzle.)
Step 8: Allow the chocolate drizzles to harden and the frosting to set up before serving.
