These are cookies people will talk about endlessly and ask you to make again and again. The reason we’re so sure—besides personal experience—is that they’re based on our five-star Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, but gussied up for an extra-special occasion or extra-strong sweet craving. Dark chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, oats and toasted Corn Chex™ all get added to the mix, so these cookies bake up gooey and crunchy and salty and sweet. All those mix-ins give the cookies a look that’s far from cookie-cutter perfect, but that’s part of their charm. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a cookie with where a stray marshmallow has melted at the edge, creating a crisp caramel bite that’s almost like toffee.
