Chocolate Munchers

I usually like to double this recipe, freeze half and eat the rest. These are amazingly good, with a rich chocolate taste and chewy goodness from the marshmallow and oats.

Instead of individual cookies you can also spread this on 2 buttered and floured jelly roll pans and make sheet cookies. This adds a few more minutes of cooking time. Just check with a toothpick inserted in center and if it comes out dry they are done.

Preheat the oven to 350˚. Allow to cool before devouring.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces
• 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 tbsp water
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
• 1/2 cup Crisco shortening
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped pecans or peanuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚.
2. In a large saucepan melt the chocolate pieces, marshmallows and water over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
3. Next pour this into a Kitchen Aid mixer and add remaining ingredients except the oats and pecans. Turn on low and blend. If you don't have a mixer doing this by hand is a workout, but the payoff is an amazing cookie!
4. Next slowly add the oats and pecans and mix thoroughly.
5. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.
