Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 12 large marshmallows
Feel free to make substitutions as needed. If you’re out of brown sugar, you can use all granulated sugar. And if you want to try a different cereal, go for it! The kitchen is your playground.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a marshmallow in the center. Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, sealing it completely. Repeat for all cookies.
- Place the stuffed dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
A little trick I learned from years of baking with kids—don’t worry too much about perfection. If some marshmallow peeks out or the cookies spread a bit more than expected, just roll with it. Life’s messy, and that’s part of the fun!
