Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs

For the chocolate drizzle:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips dairy free

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat shortening and sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy - about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined. Add flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until incorporated, scrapping sides as needed.
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top cookies with marshmallow halves. Return to oven for 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Repeat steps 6 - 7 to bake remaining cookies.
For the chocolate drizzle:
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30 second intervals. Stir in shortening to smooth out the melted chocolate and allow for easier drizzling.
- Drizzle chocolate over cooled cookies and top with walnut pieces.
