# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These cookies deliver all the nostalgia of summer campfires without needing to find your flashlight or leave your kitchen.
  • The contrast between crispy graham pieces and squishy marshmallows creates texture magic in every bite.
02 -
  • Marshmallows exposed to direct heat too long will crisp up and lose that stretchy texture you want.
  • Gluten-free graham crackers vary wildly in texture, so break them into pieces that still have some heft.
03 -
  • Underbake slightly and let residual heat finish the centers for the softest texture.
  • Freeze scooped dough balls and bake straight from frozen, adding one minute to the time.
