# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The marshmallows turn into gooey pockets that stay soft even after the cookies cool completely
  • Crispy rice cereal adds this incredible crunch that contrasts perfectly with the chewy cookie base
  • They taste exactly like those expensive bakery versions but take about 20 minutes to throw together
02 -
  • Marshmallows expand like crazy in the oven so do not be alarmed when they puff up and get all bubbly
  • Underbaking by just one minute makes these stay chewy for days instead of getting hard
  • The cereal softens over time so these are best eaten within the first 24 to 48 hours
03 -
  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky or warm to work with
  • Press a few extra marshmallows on top right after baking for that professional bakery look
