This tasty cookie comes 100% kid approved; in fact I didn't make them, they were the work of my soon to be 12 year old son who, along with his sister have become quite good little bakers in their own right. This one is a pretty simple recipe and lots of fun to make with your kids on a rainy afternoon.; just make sure to buy extra marshmallows for the little ones to sneak while they are baking, as inevitably they do.

Cookie Dough

1 ¼ cups butter

2 cups sugar

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

¾ cup cocoa powder

2 cups + 2 rounded tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.

Sift together the cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. At this point you can also optionally add:

1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Mix well until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Dough must be very cold when it goes in the oven.

Roll into 1 inch balls and then roll the balls in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 - 12 minutes.

While cookies are still hot, flip half of them over on the cookie sheet. Top each flipped cookie with about 5 large marshmallow halves before topping with another hot cookie. Allow to cool completely on a wore rack before serving.
