Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups marshmallows

Crispy Ingredient

  • 3 cups rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your rice cereal, marshmallows, butter, eggs, and dry ingredients measured and ready to ensure a smooth baking process.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows together, stirring constantly until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: While the marshmallow mixture cools slightly, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar in a separate bowl.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled marshmallow mixture, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Add the Crispy Cereal: Gently fold in the rice cereal, taking care not to crush too many pieces to maintain the cookies’ crispy texture.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Spoon the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

Notes

  • Allow the marshmallow mixture to cool briefly to prevent scrambling the eggs when mixing.
  • Use fresh rice cereal to keep the cookies crisp and avoid sogginess.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain lightness and texture without overmixing.
  • Monitor baking to achieve slightly underbaked cookies for a chewier, more delicious result.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve their crisp and chewy balance.
