Marshmallow Mocha Cookies

I've been wanting cookies for us for like 3 weeks now. So, tonight after dinner I got off my lazy rear and made these. They are just a basic sugar cookie, with a twist. If you like coffee, you'll love these cookies.

Marshmallow Mocha Cookies

1/2 Cup Softened Unsalted Butter (1 Stick)

1/2 Cup Vegetable Shortening (these are not supposed to be health!! they are cookies damn it!!)

2 Cups of White Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda (Not Powder!!)

1 1/2 tsp. Cream of Tartar

1 Tbsp. Instant Coffee

1 Tbsp. Coco Powder

1 tsp. Salt

3 Egg Yokes

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 1/3 All Purpose Unbleached Flour

Bag of Marshmallows

Pre-heat the oven to 300.

In a mixing bowl cream the butter and shortening together on medium speed. Add the sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, coffee, coco powder, and salt and mix well, make sure and scrape the sides a few times. Add your yokes and vanilla, again mix till well incorporated. Add about a cup of the flour or until it stops incorporating and then fold the rest in by hand.

Spoon out the dough onto un-greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. One thing to note, the first time I made these I scooped a little generously and they ran into one enormous cookie. SO, be aware they will spread out thin in the oven. Now cook them for about 11-13 minutes. While they are cooking, take a handful of marshmallows and cut the in half. When the time goes off pull the cookies out and place the marshmallows sticky side down onto the hot cookies and put them back into the oven for about 2 minutes, just till things start melting. Let 'em cool on the pan for 2 or 3 minutes and munch 'em when they are warm with a shot of milk.
