These Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Cookies are a super soft and chewy, ooey-gooey cinnamon sugar cookie loaded with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and mini marshmallows.
There’s this bakery in Portland called The Pie Spot, and their whole concept of the bakery is mini hand pies baked in a muffin pan. You can order whole pie but the mini pies are way better!
Anyway, ironically, my favorite thing to get there is the cereal killer cookies which are either fruity pebble or cinnamon toast crunch. You guys, there’s no stopping me from devouring the whole cookie.
I’ve only had the cornflake cookies from Milk Bar one time and I remember them being good but they’re nothing in comparison to the cereal killer cookies.
I had to recreate my own version of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Cookies. These got two thumbs up from my husband, so you know they’re good because he’s a tough critic. Then again Cinnamon Toast Crunch is like one of his top 3 favorite things to eat, so if he didn’t like these, we’d have a real issue.
These are a super soft and chewy, ooey-gooey cinnamon sugar cookie loaded with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and mini marshmallows.
The ones from the bakery have oatmeal in them, but I wanted to start with my master soft and chewy cookie dough to see what I could recreate.
My favorite part of these cookies are the burnt sugar edges and the gooey marshmallow bites!
For the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I just placed it in a Ziploc bag and give it a few smashes with my rolling pin to break it up into smaller pieces. This gets mixed right into the dough.
When these cookies come out of the oven, they might be a little misshapen if there are a lot of marshmallows on the edges. Right when they come out, take the flat edges of a knife and push the edges of the cookies towards the middle and boom your cookies are round again.
These cookies are also quite delicate because of the marshmallows, so they’re probably not the best for shipping. If you happen to be stacking them, you might want to consider placing a piece of parchment paper in between each layer.
Finally, it’s important that you not skip the step of refrigerating the dough, otherwise your cookies will be flat like pancakes and those are not fun cookies.

Description
These Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Cookies are a super soft and chewy, ooey-gooey cinnamon sugar cookie loaded with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and mini marshmallows.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch, crushed
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix into butter and sugar until the egg is well beaten.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon baking soda and cream of tartar. Slowly add into dough and beat on medium low speed until well combined and dough starts to form.
- Next add the crushed cereal and mini marshmallows and mix to combine.
- Use a large cookie scoop (3 tbsp) and scoop cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 45 minutes, but the longer the better.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place about 2 inches apart and bake at 350° F for 11-13 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note: If the cookies are really misshapen, you can fix them right when they come out of the oven. Use the flat edge of your knife and push the edges of the cookie back into the center.

I made the dough, then read the comments about the cookies not turning out😳 so I did a couple test ones, and I had the same issues unfortunately😔 Not wanting to waste the dough, I pressed it all into a cookie sheet and baked it at 350 for 20-22 minutes then cut up into bars once cooled. Worked PERFECT. Taste fantastic and kids LOVE them.
**Note that I doubled the recipe and substituted baking powder for cream of tartar 1.5tsp:1tsp (so at a doubled recipe it was 3/4 tsp)**

Hey Kayla- I am not sure what you mean about the dough not turning out? What issue are you referring to?
Hello
I wanted to try this recipe because it’s my daughters favourite cereal. I was just wondering if there is a substitute for the cream of tartar or can I skip it?
Thank you
If you don’t have it, you can skip it, the cookies will bake just fine they’ll be a less chewy but still delicious!
Can you freeze this dough once made?
Absolutely!
Hello! I’m planning to make a big batch of these for some Christmas events but I’m confused about the marshmallows. Do you mean “mini” as in the really small crunchy kind that people put in hot chocolate or just regular mini soft ones (small version of s’mores marshmallows)?
Thanks!
Hi Kirsten! Sounds wonderful! I mean the regular mini soft fluffy marshmallows that you would use for Rice Krispie treats or what have you.
Will be trying these for sure! Curious if the Pie Spot’s had marshmallows of if that was your creativity? Either way-marshmallows sound REALLY fun in them :-).
I think they do yes!
