QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH MARSHMALLOWS
Can I use dehydrated marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
You certainly can. Dehydrated marshmallows are a bit more chewy and won’t develop the ooey gooeyness that regular marshmallows provide but they’ll still taste good.
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
I almost always bake with unsalted butter so I have control over the amount of salt in the recipe, but it’s truly a personal preference. If you’d like a bit of saltiness to balance the sweetness of the cookies, you can absolutely use salted butter.
What size should I make the cookie dough balls?
I used a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out (mostly) evenly sized amounts. I’m a huge fan of cookie scoops!
