Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Heat the mixture over medium heat while stirring constantly until the butter melts, and the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and allow it to simmer for 90 seconds, stirring frequently. Be careful not to overcook, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts (if using). Be careful to avoid melting the marshmallows completely; they should retain their shape for texture.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they set and firm up.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately and enjoy!
