# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture contrast is ridiculous, soft cookie with pockets of goo and crunch
  • They stay soft for days unlike typical crispy treats that turn into rocks
  • The white chocolate option makes them feel fancier than they have any right to be
02 -
  • Underbaking slightly is the secret, they continue cooking on the hot tray and you want that gooey center
  • Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from seizing up and creating tough cookies
  • The marshmallows will puff up dramatically in the oven then settle, this is totally normal
03 -
  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing so they all bake at the same rate
  • Lightly press extra cereal on top before baking for maximum visual appeal
