Notes

You can order "marshmallow bits" on Amazon. Essentially marshmallow bits are dehydrated mini marshmallows. Another way to get the same effect is to buy mini marshmallows, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and freeze them. You will have the same sweetness with a dry crunch as you would with marshmallow bits.
You do order on Amazon get the colored ones that look like Lucky Charms. That would be so much fun in these cookies.
