Monday’s Mystery Recipe Episode 17: Chocolate Comfort Cookies

[donotprint] Yesterday was such a rainy and dreary day here.  I had planned on grilling and making Diane Mott Davidson’s, Grilled Chicken a’ l’Orange from her novel, The Grilling Season, but due to the rain, I had to settle for something else.  That something else turned out to be Chocolate Comfort Cookies.  Maybe not a good idea for supper, but still a good idea. 🙂

These cookies remind me of a brownie, only in cookie form.  I did make several adjustments to this recipe, though, so if you’re looking for the original, I’d either purchase the book or check it out from your local library.  The original recipe can be found in Diane Mott Davidson’s, The Grilling Season.

One of the unique things about this particular recipe is that it includes marshmallow cream in the dough.  I had never made a cookie that included that in its list of ingredients before.  I wasn’t sure how it would bake, but I think it helped give the cookie a nice, chewy texture.  If I make these again, I will try using the whole container of marshmallow cream.  I had about 1/4-1/2 cup left over and I’m not sure what else I’m going to do with it.  I just didn’t want to try it with this recipe since I was planning to share it today.

So, if you’re in the mood for some chocolatey goodness, try out these Chocolate Comfort Cookies.  They were delicious![/donotprint]
