Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treat Cookies

Happy Sunday! And here's an amazing treat for you to try. I'm not a big sweets-eater, but I really had to stop myself from eating the entire batch. This is a pretty dry dough and a bit crumbly, so pack a tight Tablespoon-ish roll. And be sure to use parchment paper or a Silpat or you will never get the marshmellows of of the cookie tray. This recipe made about 5 dozen cookies for me. I found this recipe at www.Stephanieskitchen.com.

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPY TREAT COOKIES

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, room temp

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 (3.4 oz) pkg vanilla instant pudding mix

1 1/2 cup mini marshmellows

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups crisped rice cereal

In a medium bowl, which together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the pudding mix. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Add the marshmellows and chocolate chips. Stir in the cereal by hand. Scoot onto a baking sheet. Bake at 35o for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
