Mississippi Mud Cookies
I originally published this recipe way back in 2009. I felt the need to refresh it and add some new photos because they are just THAT good.
Does anyone else find themselves spelling out Mississippi in your head whenever you type it? In fact, I don’t think I can type that word without spelling it out just like we did in elementary school!
By the way, if you’re looking for even more amazing cookie recipes, you’ll want to bookmark this collection of 50 Cookie Recipes! And if you’re a marshmallow and chocolate fan, this rocky road fudge will be right up your alley!
Normally I am a couple of weeks behind in posting what I make. I have a folder full of pictures and the recipes lie in wait for me to post them. But not today. No, I made these bad boys today due to an overwhelming craving for gooey chocolate. I hit my “cookie” labeled bookmark folder and there it was, waiting for me in all of its ooey-gooey chocolatey-ness. :) I just had to share them with you right away!
I didn’t change much, other than eliminating the nuts, and instead of using milk chocolate chips, I just used the rest of the bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. My recipe is adapted a little, you can grab the original from Megan’s blog if you prefer nuts.
Oh and by the way, if you have a third of a bag of miniature marshmallows sitting in your kitchen cabinet all stuck together and getting stale (like I did) then never fear, they’ll work great in this!
