1/2 c. butter
2/3 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. (3 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate morsels, melted
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. instant coffee powder
1/3 c. milk
12-14 marshmallows
36-40 walnut halves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add melted chocolate and chopped nuts, mixing well. Sift flour with soda, salt and coffee powder. Add to creamed mixture along with milk; stir until well blended.

Drop by rounded teaspoonsful onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or just until cookies test done; be careful not to over bake so cookies will be moist. Cut marshmallows into thirds, crosswise.

As soon as cookies are baked, top each one with marshmallow slice and return to oven a minute to set marshmallows. Remove cookies to wire racks. Top each marshmallows with a walnut, pressing down lightly to make it stick. When cookies are nearly cool, place racks over waxed paper and carefully spoon or spread with your favorite chocolate frosting over top of each one. Makes 3 to 3 1/4 dozen.
