Usually Melissa and I would not bake cookies at the end of the week for no reason. But sometimes a girl just needs a chocolate fix at the end of a hard day. Especially when your agenda for the night consists of curling up on the sofa browsing Craigslist for a new apartment.
Plus, I love having opportunities to use my new red Kitchen Aide mixer! We keep it prominently displayed at all times on our counter (Note to self: next apartment must have good size kitchen with ample counter space). Thank you again Ciocie & Uncle Gerry for the awesome Christmas present! Now we can make cookies super-fast! (I am still deciding if baking cookies faster is a good thing or not).
This recipe sounds like a mouthful, I know. This strange combination of ingredients gives you a crunchy chocolate caramel-flavor that you can’t help but love. (Yes this recipe does not support any New Year’s Resolutions, unless one of yours was try new things?)

My fabulous new Kitchen Aide mixer!
- Line cookie sheets with wax paper or parchment paper. And then grease the paper with cooking spray.*
- Roll cookies into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet
- Bake on 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are lightly br0wning. (Note: ignore the cracking and sizzling sound of cornflakes and marshmallows baking, it’s suppose to happen!)
- Cool cookies for 5 minutes before removing from paper and pans.
*This step is absolutely essential or else you will have a sticky mess!
