Another school year is coming to an end...which means the kids need to contribute to the year end party noshes. This year, instead of the chips and Crispers, Amelia wanted me to bake something for the class. She was getting smirks from the kids in her class as to why the teacher would get a piece of our homemade brownies and none for the rest of the class. So, we decided on cookies...and not just cookies. Chocolate chip would be the base cookie recipe...then I would add something else from the pantry to make it a bit more special -- dried cranberries and marshmallows. Enjoy!!
Chocolate Chip - Cranberry - Marshmallow Cookies (makes 36 cookies)
1 cup of soften unsalted butter
2 cups of brown sugar
2 eggs
2 2/3 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp each of baking powder and baking soda
1 tsp of vanilla
1 cup of chocolate chips
3/4 cup of dried cranberries
2 cups of marshmallows
1. Mix butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Then beat in eggs; one at a time.
2. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and baking soda.
3. Gradually stir flour mixture into sugar mixture;
4. Fold in chocolate chips, cranberries and marshmallow until well combined.
5. Using the tablespoon measuring spoon; spoon cookie dough unto baking sheet lined with parchment paper/silicone mat. I found that the silicone mat produced nicer cookies. Lightly using fingers, flatten the dough slightly. Don't overcrowd your baking sheet, 6-8 cookies worked best.
6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
7. Let the cookies cool before transferring to a cooling rack. Cookies will be soft and chewy.
