These look wonderful! How big do they turn out to be? If I wanted to get more than 8 would it work to make the balls smaller? Or would that ruin the final cookie? Thanks!
These are pretty large just like the ones you would get from crumbs. You can make them smaller just reduce the amount of marshmallow fluff you add to the inside of the cookie and bake them for a little less.
First of all, I grew up eating Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes, so I was drawn to this because of that. Now, let’s talk about this recipe. It’s brilliant, perfectly detailed, and by far the most popular thing I’ve ever brought into the office. I’m a home baker and I absolutely love these cookies…easy, impressive, and so delicious and yes, full of guilt but worth it!!! The only thing I add, is one teaspoon of espresso powder to the cocoa powder, because I always add it to anything chocolate. Chef’s kiss ❤️
So glad you enjoyed Jeff!
I attempted these once but couldn’t get the fluff off the Saran Wrap did I do something wrong? Any advice as I would love to try again
Thx
I used the Jet-puff marshmallow fluff. Sometimes using other brands might give you issues when freezing since each brand uses different ingredients/ingredient measurements.
How much marshmallow filling would you recommend for a 1/8 cup of dough! 1/2 tsp?
I would start with that and bake one cookie then assess if there is too much oozing out.
