Cocoa Mallow Cookies~Valentine's Style

Here are my Cocoa Mallow cookies from the Cookie of the week club. I added a few extra pictures to give you an idea of what they will look like before and when you bake them.

Some of you had trouble with the cookies sticking. I had mentioned using parchment paper to prevent that problem. I was of course out and decided to use bakers joy. It worked like a dream.

Once they are baked they come out looking like this. Not too fluffy not too flat.

I let them cool about a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack. They cooled completely before I added the filling. I decided to do them Valentine style and added a little pick icing color to the cream. YummmY!

The only thing I did different than the regular recipe is that I had to use 1/2 and 1/2 and water instead of milk because I was out of that too. (Really need to make a trip to the market)

I used pink icing color in the filling and Bakers Joy on my cookie sheets instead of greasing them.

They turned out beautifully! Enjoy!
