Cookie Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups rice krispies
- 2 cups marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate: In a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips over simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth and completely melted, then remove from heat.
- Combine with peanut butter: Add the peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Fold in the rice krispies and marshmallows, stirring until everything is evenly combined and coated.
- Form cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of the mixture onto waxed paper, spacing them apart.
- Chill to set: Place the dropped cookies in the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Store properly: Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh and firm.
Notes
- If you don't have a double boiler, create one by simmering a few inches of water in a saucepan and placing a heatproof bowl on top. Make sure the bowl fits snugly and avoid steam burns when handling.
- Use waxed paper on your tray or surface to easily remove the cookies after chilling.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with almond or sunflower seed butter for variety or allergy adjustments.
- For firmer cookies, chill for at least 1 hour or until completely set.
- Store cookies in the fridge to prevent melting due to the white chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
