Surprise Cookies
I have a backlog of recipes and photos waiting to make their appearance on The Sweetest Kitchen. You can see photos of what’s in the queue in the sidebar, under My Food Photos. Today I’m posting about Surprise Cookies, which is a recipe from Martha Stewart’s COOKIES book. The recipe can be found here.
The original recipe used regular marshmallows, but as you can see, these are pink strawberry marshmallows.
These are very chocolatey. The strawberry taste of the marshmallow is subtle; I’d probably prefer to use regular marshmallows next time. The cookie itself is cake-like and soft.
My opinion is that I most likely wouldn’t make them again, as I didn’t think they were that great. The photos of them, especially the photo on Martha’s website, look great, but I personally didn’t care much for them. My daughter didn’t like them at all, but my 2-year-old son did!
These look so lovely; it is really too bad that they don’t taste as good as they look! They remind me of cookies my mother made when I was a kid, but hers had a little jam under the marshmallow layer.
They look really great! Too bad you didn’t especially like them ~ but hey, if I were judging on looks they’d get an A+
What a shame they didn’t taste as spectacular as they look….I was ready to buy the marshmallows…LOL….
@Joanna…the jam sounds like a great idea!!
