Notes

For extra gooeyness, add more chocolate chips or a few mini marshmallows.Use purple or orange food coloring for color variety.Chill the dough slightly if cookies spread too much.Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and bake from frozen when needed.
