8. Bake cookies for 12 minutes.
9. Take cookies out of the oven and smell them for crying out loud. Ooh baby.
10. Break the chocolate bar into squares and place on top of cookies.
11. Cut marshmallows in half with a scissors and put those bad boys on on top of the chocolate pieces like little hats.
11. Put cookies back in the oven for 4 minutes (to melt the chocolate and marshmallows).
12. Take cookies out of the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
13. Once they’ve cooled, dust cookies with chocolate shavings for decoration.
