3/4 cup butter, browned

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups rice krispie cereal

INSTRUCTIONS:

After browning the butter in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove, pour into heat proof bowl. Add sugars and stir to combine. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the mixture to cool before you add the egg and yolk.

Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Add in rice krispies and marshmallows. You might want to get your hands involved here to incorporate the rice krispies and marshmallows into the dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop balls of cookie dough onto sheet leaving an inch and a half between cookies (they spread a bit). Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Use a round tool to circle the cookies back into shape when they emerge from the oven. Sprinkle with sea salt.
