Rocky Mountain Cookies**

“Dear cookie bakers, this is the one cookie recipe our family just must have every Christmas. The blend of chocolate cookie with the chocolate frosting and marshmallows is delicious and appreciated by young and old. It must be about 50 years that we have been making this recipe. I hope your readers will enjoy them as much as we do.”
