Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups rice krispie cereal
- ⅔ cup mini marshmallows
- flaked salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the ½ cup of salted butter over medium heat until it turns a lovely golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the browned butter to a bowl and place it in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter with ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix until just incorporated.
- Sprinkle in the ½ tsp baking soda and ¾ tsp salt, followed by the 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Mix on low until just combined.
- Gently fold in the 1½ cups rice krispie cereal and ⅔ cup mini marshmallows using a spatula.
- Using a 3-TBSP cookie scoop, portion out the dough into large balls and place them 4-5 per baking sheet.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10-13 minutes until the edges are light golden brown and the center looks slightly underbaked.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaked salt. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
