Pour the marshmallow mixture into the baking dish that has been prepared once it is ready

Using a spatula, smooth the top and sprinkle additional sugar-cornstarch mixture on it

Until the marshmallows are set and no longer sticky, let them sit uncovered at room temperature for at least four hours or overnight

Once the marshmallows are set, cut them into the desired shapes with a knife or cookie cutters

To keep the cut sides from sticking, dust them with extra of the sugar-cornstarch mixture
