A Simple Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie STUFFED WITH MARSHMALLOW GOODNESS!

These cookies should basically be their own food group they are so good.  I know…in a perfect world, right?

The unfortunate thing about these cookies is if I eat too many, my jeans get all angry at me.

Blah.

Annnnd my husband found a pair of my “super stretch” jeans on the floor and picked them up and was able to squeeze into them, which he thought was hilarious, and I thought it was maybe the least funny thing to ever happen in history.

So yes, these cookies sosososososo good.  But I only ate a few. Because jeans.

However, I encourage you to make and eat the entire batch. Because it’s been proven that you will appear skinnier if you surround yourself with less-skinny people.

And it’s officially-official that I am not a nice friend.

On a side note, I think “hidden marshmallows” should be a thing in all food. Like a scavenger hunt or something.

You want the cookies to be slightly golden at the edges, but not cooked all the way through.  This will help them stay soft and chewy, but keep the height and thickness.

Bake them for a few more minutes, until they puff up, but not until they get toasty.

And allow them to cool completely before frosting.
