Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature preferred
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rice krispie cereal
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat together until well-combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until completely combined.
- Add rice krispie cereal and mini marshmallows and use a spatula to stir until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop cookies by 3 Tablespoon-sized scoop (54g) (I do 2 level scoops from my cookie scoop, linked above, and roll them together) and gently roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place on baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart.
- Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. Cookies are finished baking when the edges of the cookies (not any melted marshmallow!) are beginning to turn light golden brown.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, if your cookies are messy you can use the back of a spoon to help round the cookies and push any melted marshmallow back in (an optional step that neatens them up but isn’t mandatory!)..
- Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying!

Notes
- I never need to chill this dough, but if your first batch of cookies spreads too much for your liking, your ingredients may just be a bit too warm! Just cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes or longer before using.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
