FAQs
Q: Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows?
A: While you could technically use marshmallow fluff in these cookies, the texture and flavor may be slightly different. Mini marshmallows provide a chewy and gooey texture that complements the cookies well.
Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
A: Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Simply shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Q: Can I substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour?
A: While you could technically use whole wheat flour in these cookies, the texture and flavor may be denser and nuttier. If you prefer a lighter and more traditional cookie texture, it’s best to stick with all-purpose flour.
