Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup cookie butter or Biscoff spread
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Melt chocolate and cookie butter: Place the white chocolate chips in a completely dry, medium microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 45 seconds. Then add the cookie butter and continue to heat in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add cinnamon: Stir the ground cinnamon into the melted white chocolate and cookie butter mixture to infuse a warm spice flavor.
- Combine with cereal mixture: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is completely coated.
- Form cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out the coated mixture and drop it onto the prepared parchment-lined cookie sheet, shaping into small cookie mounds.
- Chill to set: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and allow the cookies to set and firm up before serving, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Make sure the microwave-safe bowl is completely dry before melting the chocolate to avoid seizing.
- You can substitute cookie butter with other nut butters for a twist in flavor.
- For extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or toffee bits into the cereal mixture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
- These cookies do not require baking, making them a quick and easy dessert option.
