Baking Notes:

• Undercook the Cookies Slightly: Bake your cookies until just set to keep them soft and chewy, which pairs perfectly with the gooey marshmallow filling.
• Use Parchment Paper: Prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan for easy cleanup.

Customization Ideas:

• Different Chocolate Options: Try dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even caramel-filled chocolate bars for a fun twist.
• Flavored Marshmallows: Use flavored marshmallows (like strawberry or chocolate) for a unique flavor profile.
• Add a Crunch: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or nuts into the cookie dough for texture.

Tips for Toasting Marshmallows:

• Use a Blowtorch: This gives you the classic toasted marshmallow flavor and look without needing to turn on the broiler.
• Broil Carefully: If using the broiler, keep a close eye on the marshmallows as they can burn quickly.

Storage Notes:

• Unassembled Components: Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days and assemble the s’mores fresh for the best texture.
• Freezing Dough: You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake them straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.

Serving Tips:

• Best Served Warm: S’mores are at their gooey, melty best when served fresh out of the oven or immediately after assembling.
• Fun for Parties: Set up a DIY s’mores bar with different toppings and let guests assemble their own creations!
