Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use gluten-free flour in this recipe to make these gluten-free friendly?

Yes! Swap at a 1:1 ratio with the regular all purpose flour.

What are the best chocolate chips to use in this cookie recipe?

The best ones to use are your favorite chocolate chips! However, make sure they are small enough to mix evenly throughout the batter.

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

Make sure the marshmallows aren’t poking through the bottom of the cookie dough when wrapping the dough around the marshmallow. The bottom of the marshmallow should be fully covered.

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of the large ones?

You could, however, that will change the final result of the cookie. Instead of having a gooey marshmallow center. The mini marshmallows will be more spread out throughout the cookie.

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 at room temperature. You can also freeze the dough/cookies up to 1 month in a freezer-safe container then bake when ready.
