Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars In a large mixing bowl cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes ). This is where all the sweetness happens!
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla Beat in the eggs, one at a time and add the vanilla extract later. Just keep beating until all of it is nice and well blended.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients In a separate bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined. Add this to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in the Goodness Roll the oats, add chocolate chips and then mini marshmallows. Do n’t cheat like Luna does with the marshmallows!
6. Scoop and Shape Spread the rounded tablespoons of dough evenly over the prepared baking sheets leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (No worry if your cookies look a little small — it ‘s supposed to be the best part).
7. Bake Until Golden Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. The marshmallows will melt a bit and the pockets will become soft and chewy.
8. Cool and Enjoy And oh, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before moving them to a wire rack. They’ll get a little stiff as they cool, but the little gooey inside will still be there.

Recipe tips

• Soften, Don’t Melt the Butter: For the perfect chewy texture with crisp edges, use room temperature butter not melted. Softened butter creams better with the sugars and holds the dough together just right.
• Chill the Dough for Chewier Cookies: If you have time (or a toddler that is pulling you out of the oven! ), wrap the dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before baking this will help keep the shape, & it increases the oat & marshmallow chewiness.
• Tuck the Marshmallows Inside: For absolutely perfect looking cookies that don’t spread all over your work surface try packing the marshmallows in the middle of each ball of dough before baking. Once they melt they will make gooey little pockets of sweet.

How To Store Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies

Refrigerate: Allow the Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies to cool completely. Then wrap them up and store in an airtight container with 1 layer of parchment paper between each cookie. Place in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to keep them crunchy.

Freeze: Allow the cookies to freeze for 2 months for longer storage. Place on a baking sheet and freeze the cookies in single layer for 1–2 hours. When solid, transfer the cookies to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 15–20 minutes or warm in the microwave for 10 seconds.

How To Reheat Leftover Oatmeal Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies

In The Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Reheat for about 5–7 minutes, or until they’re hot through and the marshmallows are soft and gooey.

In The Microwave: Put 1–2 cookies on a plate that ‘s microwave safe and cover them loosely with plastic wrap or damp paper towel and microwave for 10–15 seconds or until warm to your taste.

In The Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) & place the cookies in an air fryer safe tray, in a single layer. Air fry for 3–5 minutes, checking halfway through to prevent drying out or overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

Old – fashioned oats give the cookies a chewy texture. You can substitute quick oats at your discretion but they will be lighter and spread more.

Why are my marshmallows disappearing while baking?

If you stir them in too early or cook them too long they can melt completely. To keep them nice and gooey just mix them in at the end and not over cook them.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! You can just make the dough and leave it in the fridge for up to 2 days… Chilling also makes the cookies hold their shape better when baked.
