I love whoopie pies. Seriously, when I went off to college, it was the recipe I called home the most for! Eventually I DID write it down so I could stop hassling my family to repeat it to me, and I’m so glad because I love whipping up a batch super quick. This week I decided to try a different version and flavor of them – since I’ve been enjoying my Marshmallow Mateys cereal so much, why not make fun Marshmallow Whoopie Pies?!

It doesn’t even take a TON of ingredients, so you can grab them all at Walmart the next time you’re there – along with a bag or two of Marshmallow Mateys, of course 🙂 You can keep the marshmallow whoopie pies traditional and plain….

…or stick some of the marshmallows from the cereal into the frosting!

Whatever way you choose to enjoy these snacks, they’re really fast and easy to make, plus taste AMAZING! I’ll admit, I had a hard time not eating more than one – and may have had more of the batter than I should have. But that’s my reward for making my family cookies, right? 😉

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Butter, softened
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Warm Water
• 2 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1-2 tsp. Marshmallow Extract
• Frosting or Marshmallow Fluff for middle

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Spray or line 2 baking sheets, set aside.
2. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy – about 3 minutes. Add in the egg, vanilla, water, milk and marshmallow extract and whip until smooth.
3. Mix in the baking soda and salt, then carefully add in a bit of flour at time until it’s all in and well-combined.
4. Drop into spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, then bake for 6-8 minutes or until barely starting to brown on the edges. Remove from oven and cool about 5 minutes, then move to rack to finish cooling off.

Once they’re cooled off, put a good helping of frosting or marshmallow cream in the middle of two to finish off your whoopie pies. If you’re feeling adventurous and extra ‘marshmallowy’, add some of the marshmallows from the cereal inside the middle or along the edges of the frosting. So good!

These didn’t last long at my house, and I’m sure we’ll be making them again soon!

I’m a big fan of churro recipes – they’re so tasty and refreshing, plus they always remind me of Disney vacations in the past!

It’s in the 90s outside right now, so even if I’m craving a delicious hot chocolate, it just wouldn’t be as enjoyable in this heat. Luckily, I can still have that delicious taste of chocolate and marshmallow with these amazing Hot Cocoa Cookies! They’re soft and full of chocolate-y flavor, plus the ‘mallows on top add just the right hint of balance to make it an edible version of a favorite drink.

My kiddos are in love with this hot cocoa cookies, too, and can’t wait for me to whip up another batch. I love that it’s a super EASY recipe, and easy to complete from start to finish in less than 30 minutes. YAY for simplicity!

Note: This recipe makes roughly 20-24 large cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 12 oz. Chocolate Chips
• 1 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 3 Large Eggs
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
• 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
• Mini Marshmallows, or Large Marshmallows cut in half

Directions

1. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat – set aside to cool a bit. Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F. Spray or line two baking sheets, set aside.
2. Cream the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add in the salt, cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Pour in the slightly-cooled melted chocolate and mix until well-combined.
3. Make the cookie balls, roughly 1″-1 1/2″ in size. Place on cookie sheet, leaving enough room between each cookie ball so they can spread a bit.
4. Bake about 10 minutes, or until cookies start to ‘crack’. Remove, top each cookie with half a large marshmallow or 5-6 mini marshmallows. Place back in oven and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until marshmallows start to brown. Allow to cool a bit before serving.

I love that these cookies are soft and full of chocolate goodness, plus the gooey marshmallows on top complete this treat. You can whip them up for dessert or snack any time of year – even if it’s 90 degrees outside!
