Mississippi Mud Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff and Chocolate Frosting is a delectable fudge cookie recipe topped with creamy marshmallow fluff frosting, rich chocolate ganache, and salted toasted pecans.

Mississippi Mud Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff and Chocolate Frosting

If you think of cookies as a kids-only snack, I want you to rethink that concept. I designed this recipe to be a show-stopper. However, Mississippi Mud Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff and Chocolate Frosting are not only big, beautiful cookies, they are rich, fudgy, decadent, and sweet-tooth satisfying. Yes, they’re perfect for kids and for snacking, but they are perfect for parties and potlucks, as well. These scrumptious cookies would also make a thoughtful homemade gift.

As you sink your teeth into these fudgy delights, you’ll get a layer of soft cookie. My perfect cookie is soft in the middle and crisp around the edges. Instead of using marshmallows and toasting them, as is who they are classically used in the Mississippi Mud Cake, I made marshmallow fluff frosting and slathered it over each cookie. I then drizzled over a generous amount of chocolate ganache (that’s just a ‘fancy’ word for frosting). Finally, a sprinkle of toasted, salted pecans finished off these delectable bites.

Bob’s Red Mill invited me to join their United States of Cookies. Every state has something that truly makes it special and Bob’s Red Mill is celebrating that diversity in cookie form! We can agree that everyone loves cookies, which is why we’re celebrating a cookie from each state and why I made for you these Mississippi Mud Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff and Chocolate Frosting. You can visit the United States of Cookies website or search #50StatesofCookies on Facebook and Twitter to see all of our submissions.

Being from Northeast Mississippi, I chose to share Mississippi Mud Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff and Chocolate Frosting. It’s unclear how ‘Mississippi Mud’ pie, cakes, or cookies came to be. However, everyone agrees that these desserts are metaphorically named for the dark, richly organic mud found along the Mississippi River. ‘Mississippi Mud’ pies, cakes, and cookies are rich, fudgy, dark chocolate desserts and are always a crowd-pleaser at potlucks and parties.

Also, I recently shared with you Raspberry Streusel Cream Cheese Coffee Cake that I made using Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose flour.

Organic Unbleached All-Purpose White Flour

  • Organic Unbleached White Flour is freshly milled from Organic hard red wheat. Both the bran and the germ have been removed leaving the endosperm that is made into white flour. It is not enriched with any additives.
  • This is the same high protein flour used by professional bakers and produces high, well-textured loaves of bread equally as well as it produces light, airy baked goods.
  • This kitchen staple is incredibly versatile and perfect for all of your baking needs.

  1. You can use salted or unsalted butter, use what you have on hand or what you prefer.
  2. As well, light or dark brown sugar can be used in this recipe.
  3. Use a spring release scoop so that all the cookies will be the same size. They will cook more evenly being the same size, plus they’re just prettier.
  4. Use 2 cookie sheets when baking cookies. Allow the cookie sheets to cool completely before placing the second batch of dough on them. Never place cookie dough on a hot sheet.
  5. I recommend chilling the dough 30 minutes to one hour in the refrigerator before baking. This allows the butter to firm up again which results in a thicker, chewier cookie. Room temperature butter will make a thinner, crisper cookie.

  1. Additionally, you can also freeze the cookie dough. By doing this, you can take a few out at a time and bake them. The method for freezing is, scoop all the cookies out using a spring release scoop. Place balls of dough on waxed paper or parchment paper on a pan that will fit into your refrigerator. Finally, after the dough is chilled and firm, you can then transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag. Store up to 4 weeks frozen.
  2. To bake frozen Triple Layer Chocolate Cookies, remove from oven and place on a cookie sheet 10 to 15 minutes before baking. Bake as directed. For a large scoop, bake 17 minutes. For a small scoop, bake 12 to 13 minutes. Of course, these are soft-baked, chewy cookies. Bake them to your liking. If you like them more crunchy, bake a couple of minutes longer.
