FAQs

1. Can I use regular marshmallows instead of Campfire Marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows, but Campfire Marshmallows are larger and will create a more gooey center.

2. How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?
The edges should look crispy while the tops remain soft. If you’re unsure, you can gently press the center with your finger; it should feel set but not hard.

3. Can I make the dough ahead of time and bake later?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
