Servings: 8 cookies
Calories: 346kcal
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons
- Hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment recommended
- Spatula
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons (140 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (80 g) Fruity PEBBLES™ Cereal or other fruit-flavored crispy cereal, divided
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups (218.75 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 large marshmallows see notes below
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and ½ cup of Fruity PEBBLES™ cereal (2-3 minutes on medium speed). Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients until combined. Gently fold in 1 cup of cereal.
- Scoop a 3-4 tablespoon ball of dough, flatten it in the palm of your hand, and place a marshmallow in the middle.Wrap the cookie dough all the way around the marshmallow so it's completely enclosed.Roll the dough ball in the remaining ½ cup of cereal and place on a baking sheet. Repeat for all 8 cookies and space them 3 inches apart (I recommend baking 4-6 cookies on 1 half sheet at a time and refrigerating the extra cookie dough balls while they bake).
- Bake on the middle rack until marshmallow starts to seep through cracks on the tops of the cookies (8-11 minutes). Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Large Marshmallows: I found that the Baker's Corner Marshmallows from Aldi work best due to their softness. Other marshmallow brands may not flatten as well - if this is the case, try tapping the pan on the counter after taking the cookies out of the oven.
Mini Marshmallows: These can be used instead of large marshmallows by stuffing the cookies with 3-4 of them, or mixing them into the cookie dough.
Storage: Store cookies at room temperature for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
