Back in November of last year I had the pleasure of participating in a virtual cookie exchange with some of my blogger friends.
For this exchange, I made Chocolate Marshmallow Moonpies. These moonpies were a recipe from the lovely and talented Debra at Bowl Me Over.
And these moonpies a recipe that Debra got from her Grandma.
Oh, do go visit Debra, and give her a hello from me! You’ll love her recipes! Her Facebook is here and her Pinterest is here.
Recipe changes
Well, these cookies are so delicious that my husband and I decided to play around with the recipe a bit.
Debra had a delicious mocha glaze over the tops of the cookies that we decided needed to be the star of the whole show, and we wanted it to be a simple frosting.
So I thickened the glaze by adding some more powdered sugar.
Oh my gosh are they good!
The cookies themselves were perfect as is. No recipe adjustments necessary there. Soft brownie cookies that are delicious by themselves.
But, top them with that mocha frosting and the become irresistible.
And, well, you may want to make a double batch of that frosting. I’m just sayin’! It’s so good!
I made a second batch recently of just the frosting, and I ate it on all kinds of things. Try it on crackers, on granola bars, with a spoon, and, of course, on these Brown Cookies!
These make the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert. Or, the perfect addition to a Christmas cookie exchange.
