Ingredients

Fruity Pebble Crunch

  • 2 cups Marshamllow Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 3/4 cups white chocolate chips
  • heaping 1/2 tbsp shortening

For the Cookies

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 oz milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 scant cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Fruity Pebble crunch mix lightly broken up
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow bits

Instructions

Fruity Pebble Crunch Mix

  • Put the cereal into a large bowl. Melt the white chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave, or you can use a double boiler for the same results. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and stir together until the cereal’s evenly coated.
  • Pour the coated cereal out onto a piece of parchment paper, gently spreading it out so its not a giant pile, but not necessarily an even layer either. Let the coated cereal sit, about 20-30 minutes, to allow the chocolate to harden.

To Make The Cookies

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter to melt. Watching constantly and stirring occasionally let the butter melt until it becomes golden brown and smells nutty. Again keep a close eye as it can go from browned to burnt in an instant. Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl briskly whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla until smooth. To the bowl of a stand mixer add the cooled butter, sugar and brown sugar. Using the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the bowl, mixing until just combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until they're evenly come together ina batter. Use a firm spatula to stir in the Fruity Pebble crunch and the marshmallow bits just until evenly incorporated.
  • Use a small scoop to place about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, each about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let the cookies rest a minute or two and then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling completely.
  • Serve warm with a glass of milk.
