Chef Ena: Holiday Crazy Cookies Recipe

I had a bunch of leftover miscellaneous chocolate chips and things and was looking for ideas of how to use them up. Along comes crazy cookies! I usually make them for holidays. Basically you use different colored items depending on the holiday (for example, pastel M&M's for Easter).

The recipe below is what I use, but you can substitute as you see fit. However, I am of the opinion that the marshmallows are a required indgredient because they give a nice gooey crunch to the cookies.

You'll see that some of the cookies in the pictures here look like they have faults where the marshmallows melt and create a crater and some spillage. Once people have a taste they will find that these are their favorites!

Ingredients

2 ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tsp. Salt
2 Stick of Butter-at room temperature
¾ cup Granulated Sugar
¾ cup Brown Sugar
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Large Eggs
½ Peanut Butter or Nutella
1 cup M&M's Easter Chocolate Candy
½ cup White Chocolate Chips
½ cup Chocolate Chips
½ cup Chopped Fruit Flavored Yogurt Dipped Pretzel (you can find at Walmart Store)
½ cup Rice Krispies
½ cup Chopped Walnut or Almond (Your favorite Nuts)
½ cup Colored or White Mini Marshmallow

Preparation Instructions

Start by heating the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together and set aside.
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract together. Once this mixture is creamy and smooth, add the eggs once at a time.
Slowly add the flour to the mixture, stopping to scrape the side of the bowl if necessary.
Then add peanut butter M&M Easter chocolate candy, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, chopped pretzel, rice Krispies, walnut, and marshmallow mix till all combined.
Use a large spoon to scoop up about 2 tablespoons worth of dough (I use a number 40 scoop) or it depend size you prepare then roll into a ball and place it on ungreased baking sheet. Space out the ball of the dough leaving about 4 inches of the dough between each one. (using a silicon liner or parchment paper will make cleanup easier).
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes in batches using up all of the dough.
