We Turned the South's Favorite Potluck Cake Into a Cookie

Mississippi Mud Cookies — the Southern potluck cake turned into a big, fudgy cookie with marshmallows and chocolate icing. If you've ever been to a potluck in the South, you know Mississippi mud cake is always on the dessert table. Today we're turning that cake we all know and love into one of the yummiest cookies you've ever had. We take one little shortcut with a box of brownie mix, then finish them the homemade way with toasty marshmallows, pecans, and a pourable chocolate icing. If you're a chocolate lover, this one is for you! 📄 Printable recipe: https://marykatherinestable.com/mississippi-mud-cookies/ INGREDIENTS: Cookies • 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix (plain, not the kind with a fudge packet) • 2 large eggs • ¼ cup vegetable oil • 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips • ½ cup rough chopped pecans (optional) • About 1½ cups mini marshmallows Chocolate Icing (full batch) • ½ cup (8 tablespoons) butter, softened • 3 cups powdered sugar • 4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • About 6 tablespoons milk, added a little at a time Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, add marshmallows, then 1 more minute.
