Ingredients

Cookies

  • 12 oz. white chocolate chips (340g, 1 bag)
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter (180g)
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal (56g)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (43g)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (44g, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for dropping the cookie mixture.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips, being careful not to overheat to prevent separation.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Whisk the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate thoroughly and then remove the mixture from heat.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: While the chocolate is melting, place the Rice Krispies cereal and mini marshmallows into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the warm peanut butter and white chocolate mixture over the cereal and marshmallows. Gently fold and mix until all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Form Cookies: Quickly use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into individual cookies.
  7. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie to enhance sweetness and texture.
  8. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool and harden at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure white chocolate is melted gently over a double boiler to avoid burning or separation.
  • Work quickly when dropping the mixture onto the baking sheet as it can harden fast once off the heat.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips add extra texture but can be omitted for a simpler cookie.
  • These cookies are ideal as a quick dessert or snack without using an oven.
