Pin A playful fusion of sweet, spicy, and savory—soft cookie biscuit sticks with melted cheese, jalapeños, and gooey marshmallow-chocolate smores flavor in every bite.
I first made these cheesy jalapeño smores cookie biscuit sticks for a movie night with my family and everyone was intrigued by the flavor mashup. The warm sticks disappeared straight from the baking sheet before I could even set them on the table.
