Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten free flour, see note
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup rice cereal, see note
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Then, add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat until combined.
- Sift in the flour and baking soda. Stir until a cookie dough forms.
- Then, add in the rice cereal. Stir together.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of dough. Use your thumb to create an indent in the middle of each dough ball. Place 4 to 5 marshmallows in it.
- Then, use your fingers to fully enclose the marshmallows with cookie dough. Roll the dough ball around in a shallow bowl of rice cereal until fully coated. Place at least 3 inches apart on the pan.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown and the marshmallow has melted.
- Finally, remove from the oven. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter. Do not use melted butter.
- If you only have salted butter, that will work too.
- Be sure to use 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk.
- Kellogg rice krispie cereal is NOT gluten free. I used The Real Cereal Company rice cereal.
- This recipe can be made with gluten free flour or regular all purpose flour.
- The dough will be somewhat thick.
- Fully enclose the mini marshmallows with cookie dough to prevent leakage.
- Do not bake too long. They should be soft and gooey in the center!
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
