With buttery little toffee bits!
Because these Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies just seemed to need a little something else I threw in a bunch of toffee bits. And yep, that did it. Chocolatey, gooey, toffee-ey?? Whatever, they’re amazing and while I should probably give you storage instructions I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that… they do not last long.
Self-Indulgent Chatter…
I am a big marshmallow fan. The smell of a freshly opened bag of marshmallows? Nothing better. And biting into a perfectly browned and caramelized campfire marshmallow? Love. So naturally I want to include them in baked goods all the time and I try… and you know what happens right? They disappear. Completely. They melt away, sometimes they get hard or burnt. It just never lives up to my baked marshmallow goods dreams. Until now…
They key, my friends, is vegan marshmallows. You will never again wonder when the heck to add marshmallows to cookies. I’ve talked about this before (remember my Rice Krispie Treat Cookies?) and yes, I’m a little obsessed with them, but for good reason. The magic that happens is this: the marshmallows do not melt away and disappear, but they do still get gooey, and the ones on top of the cookies get lightly browned and caramelized – just like the perfect campfire ones!! So good friends, so good.
chocolate chip marshamllow cookies, the details…
Because you know how I feel about chilling cookie dough (passionately hate it), these cookies are once again, no chill. To make them you’ll start by creaming your butter and sugars very well, until really light and fluffy. Add in your egg and vanilla and mix well again. Mix together and add in your flour, milk powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix in until just combined. Fold in your chocolate, marshmallows and toffee, scoop and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet. Could not be easier and is the reason there are always cookies in the Pypers Kitchen.
Ingredients, Substitutions, Tips, etc.
Marshmallows – Vegan marshmallows. If you can’t find the mini ones just chop up the big ones.
Brown Sugar – I use light brown sugar in these to keep the flavour mild, but dark is fine if that’s what you have.
Toffee Bits – These are usually available where you find chocolate chips in the store. I use Skor bits, but there are other brands (like these).
Milk Powder – I put milk powder in all my cookies because Christina Tosi says you should and that’s all I have to say about that.
