Instructions

Cornflake Crunch (Make ahead)

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, use hands to crush cornflakes to a quarter of their original size.
  • Add milk powder, sugar, and salt, and toss lightly.
  • Add butter and toss to coat (the butter acts as the glue and will create small clusters).
  • Spread the cornflake clusters onto a parchment/silpat lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes-until they look toasted, smell buttery, and crunch when cooled slightly.
  • Cool completely before storing or using in a recipe.
  • Stored in an airtight container at room temp., it will keep fresh for 1 week; in the fridge or freezer, it will keep for about 1 month.

Cookies

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract and beat 7-8 minutes.
  • On low speed, mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined (1 minute max.). Don't step away from the machine/over-mix!
  • Scrape down sides and, still on low speed, paddle in the cornflake crunch and chocolate chips until just incorporated (30-45 seconds), then stir in the marshmallows as well.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Measure 1/3 cup portions of dough (using a 2 oz. ice cream/cookie scoop) onto the pan. Pat tops of dough mounds flat. Wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 week. (Do not bake at room temperature!) *I chilled overnight and baked the next morning.
