  Cream shortening; gradually add sugar, beating well at
  medium speed of an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time,
  beating well after each addition. Combine flour, soda,
  salt, and cocoa; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.  Stir

  greased cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.
  Place a marshmallow half on top of each cookie; bake an

  frosting over tops.  Yield:  about 3-1/2 dozen.

  over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts.
  Add powdered sugar, and beat until smooth.  Add additional
  milk to frosting mixture, if needed, for proper spreading
  consistency.  Yield:  1 cup.
