Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the cookies from sticking while they set.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully smooth and melted.
- Combine with Peanut Butter: Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until it is fully incorporated, creating a smooth, rich mixture.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows into the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated without crushing the marshmallows.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into cookie-sized portions.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra texture and sweetness.
- Set the Cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until they are firm and hold their shape.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookies immediately once set, or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter if you have allergies.
- For a firmer cookie, refrigerate for the full 30 minutes.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- If your kitchen is warm, store cookies in the refrigerator to keep them from melting.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruit for additional texture and flavor.
