Quick Tips for the best Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies
Full steps for making these cookies is in the recipe card below, here are just a few tips to note:
- Use parchment paper. A trick when making marshmallow cookies is to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up! Marshmallows can be sticky!
- Use the oats you have on hand. I like the texture that old fashioned oats gives these cookies, but I am all for using what you already have!
- Shape & stuff. Make sure to fully enclose the marshmallows in the cookie dough to ensure you achieve the pockets of gooey-deliciousness. Flattening the dough a bit and wrapping the mini-marshmallows inside helps them to bake beautifully.
Oatmeal cookie Storage & Freezing
These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
For longer storage, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature before serving.
What adjustments should I make if I’m using only butter?
When using only butter, the texture may be slightly different. Butter provides more flavor but less stability compared to shortening. To maintain the desired texture, consider chilling the dough before baking.
Can I substitute quick oats for old-fashioned oats?
Quick oats can be used as a substitute for old-fashioned oats. However, the texture will be softer and may not have the same chewy quality. The cookies might spread more during baking.
What’s the best way to ensure my cookies are chewy?
To achieve a chewy texture, avoid overbaking the cookies. Removing them from the oven while they are still soft in the center will help maintain moisture. Using both types of chocolate chips also adds to the overall chewiness.
What causes oatmeal cookies to become hard?
Oatmeal cookies can become hard for several reasons. One of the main reasons is overbaking. When oatmeal cookies are baked for too long, they can become dry and hard. Another reason is using too much flour or not enough moisture in the dough. This can cause the cookies to be dry and crumbly, leading to a hard texture. Storing oatmeal cookies in an airtight container can also cause them to become hard over time.
