Frequently Asked Questions:


Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?

Yes, you can use regular marshmallows, but the texture might be slightly different. If using regular marshmallows, I would stuff the cookie with the marshmallow before baking.

Can I freeze the dough?

Absolutely! You can freeze the dough balls and bake them straight from the freezer. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

How should I store these cookies?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat for a few minutes in the oven before eating or allow to come to room temperature for best results.

What should I do if my cookies spread too much?

Make sure to chill the dough thoroughly before baking and check your oven temperature to ensure it’s accurate.


Tips for the Best Hot Chocolate Stuffed with Marshmallow Fluff Cookies


  • · Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough balls overnight or freeze for at least an hour before baking to prevent spreading and ensure a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • · Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients in grams for the best results. If you don’t have a scale, be sure to spoon and level your flour to avoid overpacking.
  • · Room Temperature Butter: Make sure your butter is at room temperature or slightly chilled before creaming with the sugars. This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and fluffy.
  • · Don’t Overmix: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
  • · Bake on Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • · Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. An inaccurate oven can lead to under or overbaked cookies.
  • · Watch the Bake Time: Bake the cookies until the edges are set, and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you take them out of the oven.
  • · Cool Slightly Before Adding Fluff: Allow the cookies to cool slightly before piping the marshmallow fluff into the centers. This will prevent the fluff from melting and making a mess.
  • · Use High-Quality Chocolate: Using good quality chocolate will make a noticeable difference in the flavor of your cookies.
