Q: Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini?

Q: Do I need to chill the dough?
A: No. This recipe bakes well without chilling. Chilling can help if you want thicker cookies.

A: Yes. If you use salted butter, reduce added salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
Q: Will the marshmallows burn?
A: If you watch bake time and remove cookies when edges are set, marshmallows should stay soft and not burn.
