"Monster Marshmallow Cookies"

Found these in the Food Network Magazine. I altered the recipe in that I used salted butter and walnuts in lieu of pecans.

I didn't think they were the best cookies I've made, but everyone at the party I took them to demolished them in 10 minutes and asked me to go home to bake some more.


What You'll Need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 sticks salted butter, softened

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup packed light brown sugar

- 2 large eggs, at room temperature

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups quick-cooking oats

- 1 1/4 cups crispy rice cereal

- 1 cup milk chocolate chips

- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

- 1 cup miniature marshmallows


What You'll Do:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and both sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy.

5. Beat in the eggs one at a time on medium speed.

6. Beat in the vanilla.

7. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined.

8. Stir the oats, cereal, chocolate chips, walnuts and marshmallows into the dough.

9. Drop about a tablespoonful of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart.

10. Bake the cookies in batches until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.

11.Transfer to racks to cool.

Kitchen Sink Cookies


Kitchen Sink Cookies, originally uploaded by predictablyhungry.

I recently stumbled upon a recipe called "Killer Cookies," and gave it a try. They were absolutely amazing, but I felt that I could make some changes and tailor them more to my tastes.


I prefer to call them "Kitchen Sink Cookies" as everything in my entire kitchen is thrown into them.


What you'll need:


- 1.5 cups all purpose flour

-1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup vegetable shortening (solid)

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup light brown sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups old fashioned oats

- 2 cups rice krispies

- 1 cup sweetened flake coconut

- 3 ounces chocolate chips

- 3 ounces white chocolate chips


What you'll need:


1. Preheat oven 350 degrees and place parchment paper on cookie sheets!

2. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk and set aside.

3. In large bowl, beat shortening, both sugars on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla.


4. On low speed, gradually add flour/sugar mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in oats, rice krispies, coconut, and chocolate chips.

5. Form balls with 2 tablespoons of dough and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.


6. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
