An Easy Marshmallow Mateys Cookies Recipe

Earlier this week, Baby Girl and I decided we would “compact” a cereal the kids love for an easy cereal treat for the kids’ lunchboxes the next day (and for a snack, after school, later that day).

(A few days prior, Peanut Butter Cups were made the pudding crust and topping for their vanilla pudding cups, and were a big hit.)

Judging by the fact that I’m left with crumbs alone in the cookie container, I will have to say the cookies got a thumbs up from the kids and Hubs.

An Easy Marshmallow Mateys Cookies Recipe

This is a quick recipe to whip up and one your kids will be begging you to make repeatedly.

Ingredients: 

1 cup Marshmallow Mateys

1/2 cup butter softened

2/3 cup granulated cane sugar

1 egg, room temperature

1 1/4 tsp vanilla essence

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1. Put the Marshmallow Mateys in a plastic bag and have your child crush the cereal.

2. Mix the crushed cereal with the dry ingredients and gradually add to the whipped wet ingredients, mixing well to form a dough.

4. Enlist help from the kids to make (approximately) 2 inch sized cookie balls from the dough

and gently flatten, before placing on the parchment lined cookie tray.

5. Bake (at 350 degrees F) for 9-11 minutes and they’re done.

Yummy, crisp, Marshmallow Mateys cookies, best enjoyed with a tall glass of milk!
