Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Rice Cereal (Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup Large Marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure proper baking temperature.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, mix together the room temperature butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming a uniform batter.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, beating well to combine all wet ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Slowly add flour and baking powder to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing just until all dry ingredients are fully incorporated to form the cookie dough.
  5. Form Cookies with Marshmallows: Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out cookie dough. Flatten each piece into a disk, place a large marshmallow in the center, then roll the dough around the marshmallow, sealing it completely inside.
  6. Coat with Rice Cereal: Roll each marshmallow-filled dough ball in the rice cereal, ensuring an even coating for that classic crispy texture.
  7. Bake: Place the coated cookie dough balls on a baking sheet spaced about 3 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly gooey.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet to set before transferring them to a wire rack or plate. Enjoy warm for the best gooey marshmallow experience.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; the centers should remain slightly gooey for a soft marshmallow texture.
  • You can substitute Rice Krispies with another puffed rice cereal if desired.
  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Use large marshmallows for optimal gooey center; mini marshmallows can be used but may alter texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
