This recipe is fantastic. I made a few minor tweaks just because I like a thick, chewy cookie but I was AMAZED at how delicious these turned out. Baking with marshmallows is tough but I had luck with simply rolling three frozen marshmallows into each dough ball (fully covered) rather than folding marshmallows into the dough. Then, with 4 minutes left to bake, I took the cookies out and stuck two on top of each to brown and it worked amazingly.

In reply to Kim. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Kim! Did you weigh your flour? Did you make any substitutions in the recipe?

Not sure what happened. Mine don’t look anything like the picture. The dough was super crumbly I had to add water. 🙁
The cookies didn’t cook all the way thru. I left them in for 15 mins.

Happy New Year!

What a terrific recipe! I made one change. I used salted Plugra to make brown butter – did not add additional salt to the cookie dough. I weighed the butter after browning (189 grams) and added regular butter to bring it to 225 grams. Stuck it in the fridge and brought it to room temperature before making the cookie dough. It brought these already excellent cookies to a whole other level.

Btw, l LOVE that you list ingredients with amounts at each step! So convenient and thoughtful.

I have a co-worker that loves Rice Krispie treats but didn’t want to make them for holiday gift so I searched the internet and these came up. My cookies came out great- actually fluffier than the picture. Although I’m not a fan of Rice Krispie treats I needed to try them for quality control 😀! They were a bit sweet for me (thus the 4 * rating) so I’ll try less sugar next time. My husband enjoyed them so I will definitely make these again.

In reply to Ashley. I'm disappointed to hear this one wasn't a hit! The cereal will lose it's crunch in the cookie. I'm not sure what happened with the marshmallow. :(

I was really excited to try this recipe but unfortunately it didn’t turn out great. The marshmallows became way too chewy and the rice crispies lost their airy crunch. My 7 and 10 year old didn’t want to eat them. We absolutely love all of the other recipes we’ve tried that are on your blog so keep it up!

Very yummy I made these and the blueberry crumble cookies for my church fall festival Sunday. Of course my husband and I had to sample them and they are awesome. My favorite is the blueberry but the rice crispy treat cookie is also really really good.
Thank you for sharing,
Teresa

In reply to Wendy Hardaway. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy them, Wendy! I guess every cookie isn't for everyone. :(

They really just taste like a glorified sugar cookie. The Rice Krispies add a weird texture. I think adding chocolate or caramel chips or peanut butter chips might add some flavor dimension next time.

These were incredible. Crispy meets chewy, melty goodness. I weighed the flour and chilled the dough and they turned out perfectly. Thanks for the great recipe.

I love browned butter rice crispy treats so I decided to take the extra step and brown and then cool the butter called for in the recipe and the flavor it added is excellent. Unfortunately, I did notice what some others noticed about the dough being crumbly and I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to form it so I melted another 1/3 cup of butter and drizzled it through the dough and mixed it in and that seemed to do the trick. These cookies are TASTY! To me, they’re extremely sweet. But, to be fair, that’s kind of what you should expect from a cookie with a bunch of marshmallows in it! Great recipe

In reply to Josephine Bauer. Then unfortunately there was another issue and without being there I can't say for sure what's going wrong. Are you at high altitude?

Once i tried a different one of your recipes and i weighed the flour and the cookie dough/ cookies were crumbly…….. so?

By: Sam Merritt

In reply to Josephine. Unfortunately it sounds like there was too much flour in the dough. :( If you don't have access to a scale, I do have an article on how to measure flour to help alleviate this issue in the future. I hope this helps! :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. I didn't weigh my flour. No. When i tried to scoop the cookies it just crumbled.

In reply to Josephine. Hi Josephine! I'm glad you ultimately enjoyed them! Did you make any substitutions? Did you weigh your flour? If you had a touch too much flour in the dough it could cause the dough to be crumbly and dry. :(
