Prepare

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, oil,

water, egg and pecans until soft dough forms.

On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded

tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.

Bake 7 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately press

marshmallow half lightly, cut side down, on top of cookie.

Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or just until marshmallows begin

to soften. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets

to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart nonstick saucepan, melt chocolate

chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from

heat. Add whipping cream, butter and vanilla; blend

well. Stir in powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread frosting over each cooled cookie, covering

marshmallow. Let stand until frosting is set.
