I love to cook!!

This was fav that I have been asked to make again. I got this recipe out of a magazine that I subscribe to.

Ingredients:

• 1 tube (18 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
• 3 cups miniature marshmallows
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butter, cubed
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• FROSTING:
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 6 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate

Directions:

Press cookie dough into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows, chips and butter; cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; cool. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into marshmallow mixture. Stir in nuts.
Spread over cookie crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine the marshmallows, milk, butter and chocolate. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Frost brownies. Cut into bars. Yield: 15 servings.

This recipe was a big hit. I made this cake and took it camping and by then end of the night it was ALL gone. And I didn’t even get a piece.
