1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1 egg 2/3 cup chopped pecans (which can be added to cookie mix, or sprinkled on top of frosted cookie)
12 large marshmallows, cut in half (spray scissors with cooking spray to make it easier to cut)

1/3 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Spread frosting over each cookie, covering marshmallow. (sprinkle with pecans if you did not add into cookie mix).

Let stand until frosting is set. Makes 2 dozen.
