Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies. This recipe is a family favorite.

One thing is always guaranteed when we visit my Grandma in Montana…there will always be chocolate marshmallow cookies in her freezer. Another thing that’s always guaranteed…they won’t last very long. Because they’re so dang good! Hands down these cookies are the family favorite. This recipe was originally shared in 2011, but we’ve added some new photos and a video! Sometimes it really helps to see how something is made in a video, and these cookies are one of those things.
I had to snap a photo of my mom’s old recipe card. Isn’t it so sweet? I love that it’s typed out and how the card has yellowed. You can tell that it’s been used a lot. I’m pretty sure both my mom and grandma have the recipe memorized by heart.
