Pro tips

For the perfect chewy texture, avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added. Mix just until combined.
Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for a smooth, cohesive dough that creams together beautifully.
If your dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This makes it easier to roll and stuff the marshmallows.

These marshmallow-stuffed ginger cookies are truly a game-changer. Share them with loved ones or savor them yourself with a warm cup of tea. Enjoy the magic!
