Set aside.

Beat for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.

❓ 10 FAQs
1. Can I use store-bought graham cracker crumbs?
Yes — they save time and work great in this recipe.
2. Will regular marshmallows work?
Mini marshmallows are best. If using large ones, chop them into small pieces.
3. How do I make them extra gooey?
Underbake by 1 minute and eat them slightly warm.
4. Why do my marshmallows melt too much?
That’s normal — they melt into gooey pockets. Reserving some to place on top helps them stay visible.
5. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! Chill in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freeze for longer storage.
6. What’s the best chocolate to use?
Semi-sweet chips are classic, but milk chocolate or chopped chocolate bars also work.
7. How do I keep them from spreading too much?
Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
8. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Butter is best for flavor, but margarine can work in a pinch.
9. How do I make them chewy?
Don’t overbake! Pull them out when the centers are just set.
10. Can I double the recipe?
Yes — it scales well. Use two baking sheets and rotate halfway through.
