10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • The marshmallows create these incredible chewy pockets that stay soft even days later
  • Theyre impossibly nostalgic but sophisticated enough that adults keep sneaking them
  • The dough comes together in one bowl without any fancy equipment or waiting time
02 -
  • Melted butter makes these cookies denser and chewier than the traditional creamed butter method
  • The centers will look underbaked when you take them out but they firm up beautifully
  • Picking out marshmallows is meditative work, perfect for involving kids or watching a show
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients help everything incorporate smoothly, especially with melted butter
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies with less spread
