It will look like this.

scoop a large scoop of dough and flatten with hand

Scoop a large bowl of dough, flatten it with your hands.  See my big ole handprint in there?! 

Remember that you are going to have to put the marshmallow inside in the next step and roll the dough around the marshmallow, so don’t make it too thin or it will fall apart in our hands.  If that happens the first time, don’t you worry, just roll that dough up again and give it another try.  You might want to try making a couple of these first to get the thickness the way you want it.

And there you have it, ooey gooey marshmallow goodness inside some delightfully delicious chocolate cookies!

Let The Cookies Cool on the Cookie Sheet

 The cookies will be delicate when removed from the oven, they will hold up better if allowed to cool for several minutes before moving from the cookie sheet. So just hold your horses!  It’s only a few minutes.  Just keep a hanky handy for drooling as you wait to take these beauties!

Further Cool on A Sheet of Parchment Paper

When cooling, it’s best to cool them on a sheet of parchment paper, rather than a cooling rack with bars. 

Can I Reuse Parchment Paper?

Well yes you can!  You can reuse parchment paperquite a few times to save some $$.  But don’t get too frugal though. When that paper is brittle and dirty, its time to put her to rest in the circular file.

Practice Makes Perfect

On the first try of these Chocolate Cookies the marshmallow filling may not turn out exactly how you want it.  So with your first sheet, try cooking just one or two cookies to test cooking time and process. My cookies did best with 3-4 cookies on a sheet at a time.

Notes

Tips : Cookies will be delicate when removed from the oven, they will hold up better if allowed to cool for several minutes before moving.
When cooling, it’s best to cool them first on the cookie sheet for 5 mins then on a sheet of parchment paper, rather than a cooling rack with bars.  This helps them keep their shape.
