Cutler’s yummy Brownie Marshmallow Cookie
 
Once in a while, I get a chocolate craving (actually, that would be every few hours)… and believe it or not, sometimes, I don’t feel like baking. So I hop in the car, drive down the street, and buy a Brownie Marshmallow Cookie from Cutler’s Cookies. It sets me back a whole dollar. Cutler’s is a cute little sandwich /cookie shop in Bountiful. They make a variety of delish cookies. If I’m going to eat a store bought cookie, Cutler’s is the place. This one is my all time fave. I love chocolate and marshmallow together. There is a yummy Rocky Road Brownie I like to make, but I’m the only one in my family who loves it, and they are a little hard to cut. Not that it has ever stopped me from actually getting the brownies out of the pan and consuming far too many over the course of a day. This recipe is from Claudine; a well known amazing cook/baker in our neighborhood. When my oldest son Stephen was about 8, he came home from playing with Claudine’s son, Matt. He said, “Mom, I decided you are the best cook of regular food, but Matt’s mom is the best cook of sweet food!” Try these out next time you get a chocolate marshmallow craving.
