Ingredients
– 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 cup rice cereal
– 1 cup large marshmallows
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough. Flatten each portion into a disk.
7. Place one large marshmallow in the center of each disk, then wrap the dough around the marshmallow to form a ball.
8. Roll each dough ball in rice cereal until coated.
9. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
11. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
– Ensure cookies are spaced adequately on the baking sheet to allow for spreading.
– For storage, keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4–5 days.
– To freeze, place unbaked cookie dough balls with marshmallows inside on a baking sheet to harden, then transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 1–2 months.
