SNOWY MOUNTAIN COOKIES
I was so excited to bake these with my mom after coming home from studying abroad in Germany. They remind me of the Swabian Alps I could see from my room there. Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate; it'll lose that attractive shine. -Stephanie Bouley, North Smithfield, Rhode Island

This recipe came from my MIL been making them for years. Two ways to make them with Marshmallows on top (for the kids) and frosting drizzled over. Or no marshmallows (for adults) and just choc. frosting with coconut sprinkled on top. Either way they are like little cakes.

- 2. Bake near center of oven 10 min. Cookies will be slightly soft in center. Take from oven and quickly place a marshmallow half, cut-side-down, on top of each hot cookie. Let stand until cool. Spoon 1- 2 teaspoons of choc. frosting over each cookie.
- 3. FROSTING: Stir over low heat: 1 Cup of semi-sweet chocolate pieces until chocolate melts. Add 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
