Sundae Cookies
I love sprinkles. Although I don’t use them often, I have an obsession on buying sprinkles and cupcake liners, especially after the holidays when they are on sale. I wanted to use my rainbow nonpareils, but instead of making cupcakes, I made Sundae Cookies. I’m not a good decorator, but I thought I did a nice job making these cute.
I printed this recipe last year and stored it in one of my many binders. As I was going through it, I was in the mood for a marshmallowy treat. Plus I had maraschino cherries to use from my cherry chocolate blossoms. The original recipe didn’t call for sprinkles, but I thought the addition made them more like a sundae. I cut the recipe in half and got a dozen cookies.

1 dozen
Sundae Cookies with marshmallow, chocolate, and cherry
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 Tbsp water
- 4 tsp oil (divided into 1 1/2 tsp + 1 Tbsp)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 2 Tbsp cherry juice
- 2 Tbsp maraschino cherries, chopped
- 6 large marshmallows, cut in half
Chocolate Sauce
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 tsp corn syrup
- 1/8 tsp vanilla
Toppings
- Sprinkles
- 12 whole maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line one cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- For the cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter, water, 1 1/2 tsp oil, baking powder, and vanilla until well blended. Add cocoa and 1 Tbsp oil; mix well. Add milk and cherry juice. Add dry ingredients. Stir in cherries.
- Drop the dough by teaspoons onto cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes. As soon as they come out, press a marshmallow half on top of each cookie. Let cool until sturdy enough to transfer to cooling rack.

I love the idea! They look scrumptious and so pretty. I bought a whole bunch of cupcake liners, too, they are falling out of cabinets everywhere.
What fun cookies! I just love the recipes at Cookie Madness. Yum!!!!
What a cute idea! I have a habit of buying cookie cutters after the holidays — do I make cut-out cookies????……not so much — LOL.
I have an obsession with buying things on sale! haha. I like buying sprinkes too, but I never use them because I don't want to waste them.
I really like these sundae cookies and you did a great job decorating! I have a hard time with making things pretty, but I think I could do this. The marshmallow reminds me of viva puffs..omg I used to eat those by the row!
And strawberries sould like a great idea for topping a cake. Maybe I could do that for the berry surprise cake for TWD? Honestly, I don't feel like making all that frosting. I feel so guilty for eating frosting sometimes. Actually, I've never eaten all the frosting on top of a cupcake before.
How cute!
Those are very cute and very yummy looking!

Yum! A hidden marshmallow in a chocolatey fudge cookie. These look really good.
