Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Start by creaming the butter and sugars until fluffy—this is where the cookies get their chew. Add the eggs and vanilla, then mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, which is perfect for wrapping around the marshmallows.
Here’s the fun part: take a small scoop of dough, flatten it, and nestle a marshmallow in the middle. Gently press the dough around it, making sure there are no cracks, then roll it into a smooth ball. This step is key—if the marshmallow peeks through, it’ll melt out and create a crispy, sugary mess on the pan. Bake just until the edges set, and let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes so the marshmallow can set a bit before you move them.
