Cream together sugar, brown sugar, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Once you have creamed the above ingredients together begin to add the dry ingred.

Once the dough is mixed, remove the marshmallows from the freezer and place in a bowl along with another bowl filled with sugar. Take a small amount of dough and place a marshmallow in the center( roll into a ball).

Roll the ball in the bowl of sugar and place on greased cookie sheet( if you use the teflon you dont need to grease).
