Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. Flatten out one cookie dough ball just enough to fit one marshmallow half. Flatten out a second cookie dough ball very thin and rip a small hole in the center, then place on top of the marshmallow.
Shape the cookie dough
VI
Gently roll into a ball and barely seal the hole, then roll in sugar. The sealed hole will ensure the marshmallow peaks through in the center.

Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets spaced about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until cracked and the marshmallows peak through.
Bake

Remove from the oven, and immediately use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in to create perfectly round cookies. Allow to completely on the baking sheet and enjoy!
