Shape 1 inch balls and place on greased cooking sheet.
Bake @ 350º for 8 min. Remove and add marshmallow and cook 2 more min.

Frosting:
In a sauce pan, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and milk.
Whisk the mixture until the butter and chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, being careful not to overheat.
Add the powdered sugar: Add the powdered sugar to the chocolate mixture. Whisk again until everything is evenly combined and smooth.
Adjust consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Spread the frosting over your cooled cookies. The frosting will set as it cools, making the cookies stackable.
