Chocolate Chip Caramel Marshmallow Cookies


Cookies can make anything better. 

I was tailgating before one of our local college games, and I'm always in charge of dessert. I felt lazy that week and didn't want to actually make something so decided to go with a dessert that would let my laziness shine through, but would be impressive enough to take for a crowd. I decided on Pioneer Woman's campfire banana boats. I had seen it on a recent episode on the food network. It turned out that they were perfect for tailgating! Just throw them on the grill right after the burgers. Anyway, afterwards I had a lot of left over ingredients to throw in these cookies for mix ins.

So I had chocolate chips, caramel bits, and marshmallows, and I thought other than hoarding them on the couch and eating them right out of the bag, I had better throw them in some cookies so others could benefit. I used a cookie base from Picky Palate, but of course your favorite cookie base will work just fine. I loved the way the caramel and marshmallow melted into the cookies. Why are cookies so addictive? 

What is your favorite cookie? Send me the recipe and we'll decide on the best. (A good excuse for me to eat more cookies)

  4. Can I add nuts to this recipe? What kind of nut would you recommend, and how much?

    1. Yes absolutely, any kind of nuts would be great, but I'm partial to pecans. You could use anywhere from 1/2 cup to a cup.

  6. I just made these cookies. They are ok... If I were to make them again I would only use 3 cups of flour. I found the cookies were a bit dry due to the excess amount of flour. I also cut down on the sugar. I used 3/4 cup of white and brown sugar and they were plenty sweet.
