This cookie was entered in the 2013 Family Reunion Cookie Contest.

Ingredients for 40 servings

• 1 cup real butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3.5 cups flour
• 2 tsp soda
• 1.5 tsp vanilla
• Marshmallows
• Toasted coconut

Cream Cheese Frosting

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 lb powdered sugar
• .5 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

Steps

1. Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Chill dough for 3 hours.
2. Roll out dough and cut into the size of a 50 cent piece. Bake in 350 degree oven for 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven and place half of a marshmallow (cut side down) on the top of the cookie. Return to the oven and bake 2 more minutes.
3. Remove and cool.
4. Combine ingredients for the Cream Cheese frosting and beat together until smooth. Add a little milk if it is too thick. Frost each cookie and roll in toasted coconut.
5. To toast coconut, I spread the coconut onto a pan and toast it under the broiler. Watch it closely because it can scotch easily.
