Snowpocalypse Cookies! Why not be extra while you're snowed in?!
Sweet, crunchy, crispy, creamy, chocolatey marshmallowy
cookie doughey-ey....goodness.
While snow records are broken and growing in California, I figured, let's make a favorite, Easy comfort food with a bit of extra. I wasn't sure if this would work, or be any good, but holy crikey, they're so good.
NOTE: Chill the cookie dough so it's easy to scoop and drop in as you pour the mixture into a baking dish. A small melon baller works great.
Make these with or without the cookie dough, but I really think you'll love these with it.
INGREDIENTS:
For Bars: 6 cups Generic Rice Krispy cereal (Brand name contains malt syrup which is NOT gluten-free)
1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows + 2 cups mini marshmallows to mix in (not melt)
4 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
For Cookie Dough:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp milk (dairy or other) (instead of 1 egg - use either, it's up to you)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour - I use Cup 4 Cup
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or more, you do you, cher.)
Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips + 1 tbsp butter, melted and mixed to drizzle on top
