Chocolate Munchers
This is a very nice cookie, but you are on your honor to chop the nuts almost to meal.

1/2 c. chocolate chips plus 1 Tbsp. water or coffee or orange juice
1/2 c. mini marshmallows
3/4 c. flour
2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. shortening or butter
2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
11/4 c. oatmeal (not instant)
1 c. very finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the chocolate and marshmallows with water (coffee or orange juice). Add remaining ingredients except nuts and oatmeal. When well combined, add nuts and oatmeal.

Drop teaspoonsful of cookie dough onto lined cookie sheets sprayed with a light coat of vegetable spray.

Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes.

Yield: dozens of crunchy cookies.

Note: For a thinner cookie, use 3/4 c. chocolate chips and a scant 3/4 c. mini marshmallows. If the cookie dough gets too stiff upon sitting for a while, add a little chocolate syrup to loosen it up a bit.
