FAQs

1. Why did my marshmallows disappear in the cookies?

Marshmallows can melt completely if they’re too close to the edges. Pressing a few extra marshmallows on top before baking can help maintain their gooey presence.

2. Can I use large marshmallows?

Yes, but chop them into smaller pieces for even distribution.

3. How do I make the cookies chewier?

Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar, and avoid overbaking the cookies.

4. Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?

Yes, milk chocolate chips or chunks work well for a sweeter cookie.

5. Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes, the dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake.

6. Can I add more graham crackers?

Yes, but be careful not to overload the dough, as it could affect the texture and structure.

7. Can I make smaller or larger cookies?

Absolutely! Adjust the baking time—smaller cookies may need 8-10 minutes, while larger cookies may take 12-15 minutes.

8. How do I prevent cookies from spreading too much?

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.

9. Can I make these cookies without eggs?

Yes, use an egg substitute like flax eggs or applesauce for an egg-free version.

10. What’s the best way to serve these cookies?

Serve them warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
