# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The marshmallows get toasted and gooey in the oven creating pockets of sweet surprise in every bite
  • These cookies strike that perfect balance between childhood nostalgia and grownup dessert sophistication
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy of these cookies since marshmallows can turn hard and the dough will lose its chew
  • Fresh marshmallows work best since stale ones become rubbery instead of melting into the dough
03 -
  • Room temperature dough scoops more evenly so let it rest for 10 minutes if your kitchen is warm
  • Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots
