Base Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Mix-Ins
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until completely combined with the melted white chocolate, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Incorporate Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal into the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, gently folding to evenly coat all the cereal pieces without crushing them.
- Cool Mixture: Let the coated mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes to prevent the marshmallows from melting during the next step.
- Fold in Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed within the mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Set the Cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes or place them in the refrigerator for faster firming.
- Store: Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding crushed pretzels, chopped peanuts, or festive sprinkles to the mixture.
- These cookies are perfect for summer as they require no oven and come together quickly.
