Baking My Way: Cocoa-Mallow Cookie-Wiches

Marshall told me after trying these that they taste just like a cookie he used to always get when he went down to Mexico, so I took that as a very good thing! They are similar to a home make Oreo but a lot fluffier. They're a pretty messy cookie so I suggest eating them fresh out of the freezer! (because they're such a fluffy cookie they don't freeze very hard) 


Cookies
1 cup Sugar
1⁄2 cup Butter, softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 large Eggs
1 cup Milk

1⁄2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1. In large bowl, combine sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and egg; blend well.

2. Stir in 1 cup milk.

3. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour and all remaining ingredients, mixing well.
