I’ve always wanted to try to do it Cookies with marshmallows and chocolatewho sound particularly tasty, eat warm. However, since marshmallows often disappear completely into baked goods when I was exposed to heat, I decided to make the cookies with a hack that I found on Instagram. It was claimed that freezing the marshmallows helps them to remain intact before baking. Here is what happened.

Why do marshmallows disappear into baked goods?

Allrecipes editor and confectioner, cook, Mary-Linh Tranexplains why marshmallows are lost in baked goods. “Marshmallows are loosely said, only sugar cushions that are held together by water, air and gelatin,” she says. “When marshmallows are heated, the water content, which influences the gelatin’s ability to preserve its structure, evaporates. Since Marshmallow is mainly sugar, they will of course melt under heat.”

Many spectators agreed with the tip and a commentator said: “I freeze all of my mixing carriers! So helpful!” Another viewer wrote: “Good, God, that’s genius.”

According to the tran, the trick makes sense. “Freezing helps the marshmallows to form a hard exterior layer that prevents them from melting too quickly in the oven so that they can keep more from the tough marshmallow texture that we all know and love,” she says.

Does the hack work?

I decided to do Chocolate biscuits With marshmallows a s’mores-like dessert. I froze half of the marshmallows and left the other at halfway temperature and divided the dough between them. I cooked it according to the cookie recipe at the same temperature and waited for the results.

What happened was disappointing: the marshmallows disappeared, whether I used room temperature or frozen. I wondered if I did something wrong, so I repeated the entire process. Unfortunately, the second batch was the same.

Ultimately, the hack didn’t work for me.
