Description

These Cinnamon Toast Crunch Marshmallow Cookies are soft and chewy cinnamon sugar cookies that are loaded with ooey-gooey marshmallows and crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups (285g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (420g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (2.5g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cup (81g) Cinnamon Toast Crunch, crushed
  • 1 cup (45g) mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. To soften the butter quickly, microwave for 10-15 seconds, otherwise let it come to room temperature. Roughly chop or smash the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into small pieces.
  2. Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix into the butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the batter and beat on medium-low speed until most of the flour is incorporated, then add the cereal and marshmallows and mix to combine. Increase the speed on the mixer and beat until the dough comes together.
  5. Use a large cookie scoop to portion the dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press leftover cereal or marshmallows into the top of the cookie dough if desired.
  6. Bake at 350° F 10-12 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cookies that spread: Cookies with marshmallows on the outside or bottom can spread due to the melted marshmallows.  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 or a round cookie cutter and push the edges of the cookie back into the center.

Storing Baked Cookies: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. I don’t recommend freezing them because it changes the texture of the cereal and it becomes too chewy.

If the dough is crumbly: There are a lot of ingredients in the dough, so if you find it’s not coming together, I recommend increasing the speed on your mixer for a few turns and it should help it come together just right.
