3/4c dark brown sugar

2 sticks butter (softened)

1/4c cocoa

(ok so everything is pictured, BUT apparently I forgot to add the vanilla into the picture so lets just ignore that mistake lol)

My daughter, Annabelle is just over 2 years old and aside from being miss chatty, she LOVES to help me with anything, cleaning, taking care of her little brother, any chores but most of all she loves to cook or bake so every now and then we forget the things that need to be done and simply enjoy things together. Today, Cayden (little brother) was happy playing with his toys and she wanted to bake so instead of our usual chores this morning we made some cookies together. This, well this is one of my all time favorite parts of being a stay at home mom! Yes, I take care of the house, the kids, the meals and all that BUT, the little moments that we can laugh and play doing things together and making memories with one another... That is the BEST part.

Here is miss Annabelle (her messy hair and all) using the mixer all by herself...

So, on to the cookies...

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars together. Add vanilla and cocoa and mix again. Add flour and mix well on slow speed, then add eggs and continue to mix on low speed until well blended.

Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon cookies onto greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart then place 2 or 3 marshmallows on each cookie. Bake at 350 for approx 7-8 minutes. Let stand on pan for about 3 minutes to firm up some and then transfer to baking rack to finish cooling.

 

(Annabelle Rose... so proud of her baking skills :)

YUMMMMMM... 

And most of all, they are kid approved... Little brother likes when we bake.

This is a recipe we threw together today, but I wrote it all down as I went so I'd be able to remember it all and they turned out great! Extra chocolate and yummy bites! Maybe this recipe will make it into your kitchen making memories with your family!

ENJOY!
