Tad’s Mallow Bits S’mores Cookies

I have been on kind of a S’mores cookies adventure since eating a cookie of that name in New York. Here is the latest attempt. They are easy to make, if you can find the Mallow Bits. They are made by Kraft, Jet-puffed. I was unable to find them at Nob Hill or Lucky but Safeway had them. They are harder than normal marshmallows and don’t melt as much so they provide a marshmallowiness that doesn’t disappear when you bake them.
