Recipe | Cornflake Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 14, 2011


*Inspired by Momofuku Milk Bar Cornflake Cookies*

Makes 40-45 cookies


Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
1 ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp kosher salt (plus more for sprinkling)
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 1/4 cup lightly crushed cornflakes (= about 1 1/2 cup cornflakes before crushing)
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
About 3/4 cup mini marshmallows

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and beat on low speed, just so the dry ingredients become incorporated.
With a wooden spoon, mix in the oatmeal, crushed cornflakes, and chocolate chips. (If you have time and would like the cookies to spread a little less, refrigerate the dough for two hours.)
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, scoop up and roll the dough into golf ball-sized spheres. (Six will fit comfortably on one pan–give them room to spread!)
Lightly press down 4 mini marshmallows in the center of each ball of dough. Sprinkle tops with a touch more salt. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will still look soft in the middle when you take them out of the oven. Allow them to cool directly on the tray for a few minutes before moving them onto a platter.

These are delicious! Made them twice over the Christmas break. I incorporated marshmallows into the dough. For the first batch I pressed 4 marshmallows on top; the second time baking these, I only put 1-2. Rolling the dough into perfectly smooth balls will give a nicely shaped round cookie, if that’s what you prefer.
