Brownie Marshmallow Cookies

For the second week of February we give you another one of our most popular cookies. The Brownie Marshmallow Cookie is an awesome chocolate cookie with a layer of marshmallow underneath a layer of chocolate frosting. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! If you don't want to go to the trouble of making them, you can always just come buy some from us. We won't tell!
