Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter, then add the milk, cocoa powder, sugar and salt and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.  Once the mixture comes to a boil, boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. 
  • Add the vanilla and mini marshmallows.  Stir well until the marshmallows are melted, then add in the salt and rolled oats and stir again to combine.
  • Using two spoons, carefully drop small mounds of cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let them cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature before either eating or storing in an airtight container.  Enjoy!
