    Reading the other reviews, I decided to cut down on time/steps and use store bought marshmallows, and THANK GOODNESS I did! These cookies take all day to make.

    The cookie part is very tasty, but it ended up yielding 70 cookies, and I used a 2" biscuit cutter!!

    The chocolate proportions are completely wrong. I used a BIG bag of chocolate chips. I would suggest not using the veggie oil. It doesn't allow the chocolate to set hard. They still set, but are a little sticky (like fudge to touch.

    I made these for Christmas so I put them in cupcake papers to store in the freezer. I think this will help with their stickiness as well. I hope they freeze well.....

    The cookies are tasty... The bottom cookie is soft, not hard like the shortbread I was expecting. Overall the recipe is very good, just be prepared with a lot of counter room, parchment paper, time, and room! Also be prepared for more cookies!

    I am an experienced baker and I made this cookie recipe twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. Sorry to say it was a huge disappointment both times. The three cups of flour to one-half cup of sugar is not very cookie-like and isn't sweet enough to carry the marshmallow and chocolate. Very biscuit like. The marshmallow recipe is OK and the chocolate coating never dried or got hard - I could not serve these cookies. The recipe also made over 4 dozen 1" cookies.

    I followed the cookie part of the recipe, used store-bought marshmallows (to save time and tempered some semi-sweet chocolate (instead of adding oil. Tempered chocolate will not stick to your fingers once it is set. It was AWESOME! I have to warn you the dough makes plenty of cookies. I made 43 1" cookies for half the recipe. Froze the other half for next week's treat and I'll probably make my own marshmallows next time.

    Lemme say that my version of this recipe was quite special. I totally and completely veganized it (no eggs/no dairy/NO GELATIN
    The cookie dough is not the kind I'd go eating plain, and with store bought marshmallows (sara's, which are square and vegan you end up with a funny looking square lump under the chocolate. OH WELL. Cause they taste awesome! Brought these to my volunteer workplace for Christmas on a plate with other vegan goods (cream cheese brownies anyone??! : And got thumbs up from the omnivores. Will make again.

    This was such a disappointment. I consider myself an expereinced home cook. I followed the directions. First, I found the cookie dough too dry. I did bake this on a snowy day so perhaps my house was very dry. I used one extra egg yolk which solved the problem. The marshmallow came out great! I piped the marshmallow on top of the cookie, which did look like a "kiss: but it didn't end up looking rounded like a mallomar (what I was looking for. After I was done piping I tried to push down the peaks of the "kisses", but the marshmallow was already too stiff. The final part - dipping in chocolate (and agian I followed the directions exactly, was a disaster as the chocolate never "dried" or became hard. There is no way I can serve these as the chocolate just melts in your hand when you pick them up. The entire process is very time consuming. Perhaps I should have tempered the chocolate instead of follwoing the directions.

    After reading the reviews, I thought I'd go even simpler. I bought Nilla Wafers and used them as the cookie base. Did the homemade marshmallows, mixed 1 bag of semi-sweet and 1 bag of milk chocolate for the coating and wow, super, super yummy!

    These were pretty good, they definitely made a lot of cookies, which is good. I don't think I would have like doing all that work for only 24 cookies or so, I got more like 60-70 cookies out of this recipe. I had fun making them. The only thing I'd change that I will definitely change next time will be adding paraffin wax instead of vegetable oil to the melting chocolate. The oil didn't allow the chocolate to set as well as i hoped. They are solid but start to rub off on your fingers, so aren't as clean to pack or eat. I like using the paraffin because they set hard, have a crunch, but still have that nice shine that the oil gives the chocolate as well.

    I'm givng this 5-stars with my one change. The cookie base makes a large amount cookies so its quite time consuming. The second time I made the cookies I used store bought graham crackers. I cut them into little squares, pipped on the marshmallows and then dipped in chocolate. Delicious and easy homemade s'mores. Everyone loves them and still delicious w/out the homemade cookie base.

    This recipe took a large amount of effort, with a large number of steps, to create what was ultimately a pretty mediocre product. My fiance liked them a lot, but only because they taste just like the Mallomars you can buy at the store. With this much difficulty, I'd rather be making an impressive pastry or at least something delicious.

    Love this recipe!! The cookie base dough was easy to make and handle. It is so worth it to take the time and make the marshmallow yourself. As long as you have a sturdy stand mixer it is not difficult at all, just a little time consuming. I was looking for a new cookie to make for a cookie exchange and this one is a winner. I made 1" cookies ( one perfect mouthful and was able to make 8 dozen by making 2 batches of the marshmallows. I also had to make 2 batches of the chocolate glaze.
