The Story Behind This Recipe

It all started when I was making a double-batch of your everyday chocolate chip cookies for my brother's surprise 16th birthday party.

He thought I was making them to take to my grandma’s house, and I saw a huge bag of marshmallows just sitting there on the counter top. We were never going to eat all those. Also with the holidays coming up we needed a new cookie. So I split the double batch into two singles, used one for regular cookies, in case the other cookies didn’t turn out well, then the second batch was mine to have fun with.

The chocolate chip cookies were good as usual but when my mom tried the ones with marshmallows inside, she said they were the bomb, because the marshmallow oozes in your mouth.

These were a hit at the party, and hopefully they’ll be a hit for you too. Every once in a while it’s good to experiment, after all some of the greatest inventions come from experiments and sometimes mistakes.
