Do your kids love marshmallows? Mine do! If I ever leave a bag of marshmallows open on the counter…watch out! These cookies combine two of my kids favorite things: chocolate and marshmallows. The chocolate cookies are great by themselves but the marshmallows do add a lot of fun!
The boys really like to help out with this recipe. I think it may have something to do with the marshmallows… These cookies are great to take to get-togethers and they ALWAYS get gobbled up super quick 🙂
