1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 c. milk
Marshmallows
1/2 c. pecan halves

Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Sift dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Drop on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately place 1/2 of large marshmallow or 3 small marshmallows on each cookie. Return to oven and bake 2 minutes longer. Cool cookies and frost.

FROSTING:

1 egg
1/3 c. melted butter
1 1/2 sqs. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Combine first four ingredients. Then mix in sugar. Frost cookies. Place a pecan half on top of frosting in center of cookie.

The heat from the melted butter and the melted chocolate "cooks" the egg.
