# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture contrast alone is worth it, with crispy cereal bits and pockets of gooey marshmallow in every bite
  • They freeze beautifully and actually taste better when you warm them up for 10 seconds
  • The dough comes together in under 15 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Underbaking by 1 minute makes all the difference between soft cookies and hard ones the next day
  • Room temperature ingredients actually matter, especially the butter and eggs
  • The cereal will soften over time, so these are best eaten within 2 days for optimal crunch
03 -
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm, so the cookies do not spread too thin
  • Press a few extra marshmallows on top right before baking for that bakery look
