Ingredients

Making these cookies with marshmallows takes a handful of simple ingredients! Here's a look at the highlights.

• Flour: You will be using all-purpose flour but if you want to make these cookies gluten-free you can use cup-4-cup flour in place of it.
• Instant Chocolate Pudding: This is a must. It makes the cookies chocolatey and moist.
• Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows work best but if all you have are regular-sized marshmallows you can cut them into smaller pieces.
• Chocolate Chips: You can use your favorite! Milk chocolate will make a slightly sweeter cookie while dark chocolate is slightly less sweet. For a balance between the two semi-sweet chocolate chips are the best option!
• Marshmallow Fluff: It's optional but it adds a bit of extra marshmallow flavor and creaminess.
