Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cups salted butter
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 3.9 oz package Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix (dry)
- 3/4 cup White Hot Chocolate Powder Mix
- 4 cups 1-Minute Oatmeal
Mix-ins & Toppings
- 1 cup mini dehydrated marshmallows, divided (approximately 3/4 cup for the batter and 1/4 cup for topping)
- Sprinkles (quantity as desired for topping)
Instructions
- Melt and Boil: In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the butter, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture until everything melts thoroughly and then allow it to reach a rolling boil. Continue boiling for precisely 1 minute and 45 seconds to properly integrate the sugars, creating the base for the cookies.
- Mix Additions: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract to add depth of flavor, then immediately add the instant white chocolate pudding mix, the white hot chocolate powder mix, and the 1-minute oats. Fold in 3/4 cup of the mini dehydrated marshmallows gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form Cookies: Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the mixture onto sheets of wax paper spaced apart. While the cookies are still warm and malleable, sprinkle the tops with the remaining marshmallows and colorful sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
- Cool and Harden: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature until they firm up and can be easily lifted from the wax paper. This typically takes about 30-45 minutes depending on room conditions. Once hardened, the cookies are ready to enjoy or store.
Notes
- Use wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking while the cookies cool and set.
- These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and are ideal for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute quick oats if 1-minute oats are not available, but texture may vary slightly.
- If mini dehydrated marshmallows are hard to find, regular mini marshmallows can be chopped finely as an alternative.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted or substituted according to preference or dietary restrictions.
