Ingredients
For Cookie Dough
- cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For Crispy Treats
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 12 oz. marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 7 cups crisp rice cereal
Directions
- Step 1Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Step 2In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vanilla and milk. Mix in flour and salt and beat on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Step 3Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Fold in cereal, gently stirring until completely coated.
- Step 4Press half of the cereal mixture into prepared pan. Spread with cookie dough and then top with remaining cereal, carefully pressing into an even layer. (You may find it easier to use your hands for this step; if so, generously butter them beforehand so the cereal mixture doesn’t stick to your fingers). Cut into squares. Treats can be stored, loosely covered in the refrigerator, up to 3 days but are best enjoyed within a day of making them.
