Using a tablespoon or 1¾-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto a greased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Place the baking sheets on the middle rack in the oven and bake until cookies begin to spread and become firm, about 10 minutes.
Remove baking sheets from oven, and place a marshmallow, cut-side down, in the center of each cookie, pressing down slightly.
Return to oven, and continue baking until marshmallows begins to melt, for 2 minutes.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before topping the frosting.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate frosting (recipe follows) over each marshmallow, starting in the center and continuing outward until marshmallow is covered.
For Frosting
Place confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl.
Add butter and cocoa powder.
Whisk the butter, cocoa powder and sugar together using a hand mixer.
Add milk and vanilla, and whisk until well combined and soft peaks are formed.
Notes
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use hand mixer instead. If you are not fond of marshmallows, avoid that and top the cookie with just the chocolate frosting. The cookies taste incredible with the chocolate frosting, so don't skip making the frosting.
