Every holiday season I attend at least one Cookie Exchange party. A great way to trade cookies and acquire an entire eclectic array of delicious goodies.....and have a cocktail with the ladies at the same time.

The Chocolate Cloud Cookies I baked this year for the first time, might have to be my 'Signature Cookie' from now on. Really easy to make and super good....if you like both chocolate and marshmallows.
Here's what you need.......{full recipe below}
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until blended. Mix in the chocolate chips last.
Hold 3 or so Frozen mini-marshmallows in your hand and scoop the batter up and mold it around the frozen marshmallows, covering them completely.
Place balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees and you end up with these little gems!
My take home goodies......

Chocolate Cloud Cookies
3 cups all purpose flour,
1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
powder,
1 cup soft butter,
1 cup granulated sugar,
1 cup packed brown sugar,
2 large eggs,
2 teaspoons vanilla
extract,
2 cups mini semi-sweet
chocolate chips,
5 oz mini marshmallows,
frozen
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a couple of
cookie sheets with parchment paper or use a Silpat mat.
Mix flour, baking soda and cocoa powder
together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter and both sugars. Beat in eggs and
vanilla. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until blended. Mix in the chocolate chips last.
Hold 3 frozen marshmallows in the palm of
your hand. Scoop batter up by generously rounded tablespoonfuls and mold around
marshmallows, covering marshmallows completely.
Place dough balls on cookie sheets, spacing
about 2 ½ inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for about
5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. They firm up as they
cool.
Makes about 3 ½ dozen
Tip: Make sure you freeze the marshmallows before
using, otherwise they will melt
