Description

Brown Butter Marshmallow Crispy Cookies are a fun, easy dessert with rich nutty brown butter, gooey marshmallows, and crispy rice cereal in every bite. These bakery-style cookies are perfect for dessert boards, party treats, holiday baking, and sweet food ideas when you want an easy recipe that feels extra special.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups crispy rice cereal

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows


Instructions

1. Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in the crispy rice cereal gently so it stays light and crisp.

7. Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press mini marshmallows on top and around the sides of each dough ball.

8. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.


Notes

Use cooled brown butter so the dough mixes smoothly and the eggs do not cook.

Press extra marshmallows on top right before baking for the best gooey look.

Do not overbake the cookies because they will continue setting as they cool.
