Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Use high-quality cocoa, soft pillowy marshmallows, and fresh nuts.
• I find it best to cut the marshmallows with kitchen scissors.
• Be sure to dust them with powdered sugar when they are shot so the sugar adheres to the cookies.
• Always watch the cooking time when baking cookies.
