CHOCOLATE CHIP-MARSHMALLOW CRUNCH COOKIES



Chocolate Chip-Marshmallow Crunch Cookies image

These are cookies people will talk about endlessly and ask you to make again and again. The reason we're so sure-besides personal experience-is that they're based on our five-star Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, but gussied up for an extra-special occasion or extra-strong sweet craving. Dark chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, oats and toasted Corn Chex™ all get added to the mix, so these cookies bake up gooey and crunchy and salty and sweet. All those mix-ins give the cookies a look that's far from cookie-cutter perfect, but that's part of their charm. If you're lucky, you'll get a cookie with where a stray marshmallow has melted at the edge, creating a crisp caramel bite that's almost like toffee.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can use semisweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers of the cookies should be slightly soft and gooey.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
