Despite what many might say or think, chocolate is nutritious!

There are so many health benefits to having doses of chocolate every day. It is a strong source of antioxidants and ability to lower blood pressure.

However, the quality and process of making the chocolate that you eat is important to making it healthier than your average chocolate chip.

The bottom line is that there are so many high quality, delicious chocolates that you can enjoy every day (and use in this recipe)!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular flour in this recipe?

Yes! Swap 1:1 to regular all purpose flour.

What other chocolate chips can I use?

Any that you desire! Just make sure they are small enough to mix throughout the batter. I love how the mini chocolate chips combine with the big marshmallow. I have also made with chocolate chunks and it works well!

How can I ensure the marshmallows won’t stick to the baking tray?

Make sure the marshmallows aren’t on the bottom of the cookie but covered by some cookie dough! This will create the ultimate, gooey marshmallow texture and help give you that soft and chewy cookie.

What’s the secret to making perfectly soft cookies?

Honestly…under baking them a little! I prefer to bake these closer to the 8 minute mark. Let them cool after and they will be PERFECT!

How should I store these cookies after baking?

Most importantly, do not store the cookies until they are fully cooled!

I recommend storing them in an airtight container for 3-5 days (if they last that long. You can also freeze the dough/cookies to make and enjoy within 1 month!
