I was in the mood for baking. I had a bit of extra time on my hands so I could even whip up a cookie recipe that had multiple parts. Grabbing my Into Our Second Century School Sisters of Saint Francis cookbook that I picked up six or seven years ago from Greene’s Exit 215 Antique Mall in Rensselaer, Indiana, I found the marshmallow cookie recipe.
Remembering how much we enjoyed Chocolate Marshmallow Bars before, I figured this would go over well.
These nuns can cook! These cookies lasted three days in our home. Three days. That has to be some kind of record! We munched on them on our way home from the Indy Fuel hockey game. The perfect after hockey snack!
