I found a 5 star recipe for these luscious cookies and your gonna thank me!
Using 2 types of chocolate, it’s a simple batter. A few mini marshmallows scattered on top before baking.
Then you get pockets of ooey, gooey toasted marshmallow.
I remember how much I loved the Mississippi Mud cake when I first had it. I immediately asked for the recipe. I made it a few times over the years but you really need a crowd.
These cookies taste just like it and now
I can indulge in Mississippi Mud goodness any time I want!
Try these cookies!
You can thank me later!
My daughter wanted a cookie dough care package to take to a sleep over!
We know how to get an invitation to come back!
