Ingredients
Cake Base
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cups salted butter
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Mixes and Add-Ins
- 1 (3.9 oz) package Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix (dry)
- 4 cups 1-Minute Oatmeal
- 3/4 cup White Hot Chocolate Powder Mix
- 1 cup mini dehydrated marshmallows (divided, approximately 3/4 cup plus 1/4 cup)
- Sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt and Boil: In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, salted butter, and whole milk. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Allow it to boil steadily for 1 minute and 45 seconds, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Remove the pot from heat. Immediately stir in the vanilla extract, dry instant white chocolate pudding mix, white hot chocolate powder mix, and the 1-minute oatmeal. Then fold in 3/4 cup of the mini dehydrated marshmallows. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form Cookies: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto sheets of wax paper spaced apart to prevent sticking. While still warm, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows and colorful sprinkles on top of each cookie for decoration.
- Cool and Harden: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature on the wax paper. This will let them firm up and set into a chewy, no-bake treat ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the mixture reaches a full rolling boil for the specified time to guarantee proper setting of the cookies.
- Use 1-minute oatmeal for the best texture and quick preparation.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular sized chopped into smaller pieces if unavailable.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- Feel free to customize sprinkles to match holiday themes or personal preferences.
