YUM YUM YUM. I use GF Baking Mix and it works and added 1 tspn Guar Gum. Took out salt. Only use 1 Tablespoon Cocoa. We have just found a good tip. Mix the marshmallows and chocolate chips to the wet mixture then add the flour etc. Mixed much better. We love them gooey. They can spread but don't over cook them.

I too cut back on the chips and marshmallows; but I also added a half teaspoon of baking powder and I used a 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 bag of hot cocoa mix. This kept them from spreading and caused them to puff up with a slightly crunchy outside and chewy inside.

Use parchment paper. Leave space between cookies. They are much better the next day after refrigeration. Even better , not gooey, eaten frozen!

I had wonderful results when cutting the white sugar to 1/4 cup, and both the marshmallows and chocolate chips to 1 cup each. I also used parchment paper on the cookie sheets to avoid the hard removal process of cooked and oozed marshmallows.

This is the WORST recipe I have EVER tried. These cookies spread out OUTRAGEOUSLY into huge mud puddle looking blobs, and didn't keep a shape whatsoever. I'm guessing 2 cups of marshmallows is too much since they melted out everywhere.
