Hot Chocolate Cookies

1 cup crisco
1 cup sugar plus 1/2 sup sugar for rolling
1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips melted
2 cups flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Mini marshmallows (3 per cookies)

Preheat oven to 400.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In a mixer, cream together the sugar, brown sugar and crisco.  Slowly add in the 2 unbeaten eggs one at a time.  Add in the vanilla. Mix together well.

Wrap the cookie dough around the marshmallows, sealing it into a small cookie dough ball.

Roll the cookie dough ball around in a small bowl of sugar (about 1/2 cup of sugar), coating it with sugar on all sides.

Repeat these steps to make each cookie.
Place about 12 cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes. They only bake for a short time, so don't forget to set your oven timer. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan. Enjoy!

Slowly add in the dry ingredients.

In a small glass dish, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave. Add this melted chocolate into the cookie dough
Mix the cookie dough together well.

Working one cookie at a time, pinch out about a tablespoon size ball of cookie dough.

Flatten the cookie dough in your hand and place 3 mini marshmallows in the center.
