I've put brownies and cake balls inside of cookies, now it was marshmallows turn. It is a chocolate cookie that when you bite into, has a sweet surprise inside. Some of the marshmallows are bound to dissolve inside of the cookie making some parts of the cookie extra sweet. 

When baking, some of the marshmallows will explode out of the cookies, providing the gooey pockets as seen in the pictures. 

It is important not to over bake these cookies. If you over bake them, then the marshmallows will complete disappear instead of providing the cookie with a gooey interior. The cookie will also be very crunchy instead of soft.

Frozen marshmallows have to be used when making these cookies. You want them frozen to that way they will stay intake during the baking period. Also, make sure enough dough is used to completely cover the marshmallows.

Since marshmallows disintegrate while baking, they left some of the cookies puffed up, hallow, and sweet inside.

If you're craving a chocolate cookie then make these! If you don't have marshmallows on hand, just make the dough and add in additional chocolate chips.
