Our family decided to spark creativity with a simple cookie recipe and not only did we have a lot of fun but these marshmallow toffee cookies were a hit!
Are Marshmallows Dairy Free?
Marshmallows are made up of basically just sugar, water and gelatin, which makes them completely dairy-free.
One simple recipe, endless possibilities. I love that about cooking and baking. Really it’s the key to becoming a great cook. Take a great recipe and try different variations. We teamed up with Country Crock® whose buttery spreads are creamy and perfect for cookie making as a family.
We not only got creative as a family but we are a big fan of getting to know our kids’ friends and creating a place where they can all have fun in a safe, happy environment so we let the girls all come over to a little baking challenge. The new school year inevitably brings on cooler, fall temperatures. When the chillier days call for indoor activities, the Country Crock® Make It YoursTM cookie recipe is an easy way to have fun and spark creativity with your kids and their friends.
Cade and I kept it simple, chocolate, milk chocolate toffee bits and on a whim marshmallow which we cooked the cookies long enough that it kind of caramelized inside of the cookie. It’s awesome.
The girls on the other hand, well we had a lot of sprinkles, food coloring, m&m’s, graham crackers and even this super cute halloween version. And get this, she used 8 green and 3 pink from our Neon food coloring and it turned the cookies orange!
I wouldn’t have even thought to try that! Add some Halloween sprinkles and you’ve got yourself a super cute cookie.
What is the Best Way to Store Cookies?
To prevent cookies from becoming stale, cover them with plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container when not serving.

Will Cookies be OK Without Vanilla?
Yes! You can make cookies without vanilla extract.
The only purpose of vanilla extract is to add vanilla flavor to the cookies, so they absolutely can be made without vanilla extract.

Cranberry Toffee Chocolate Chipper Cookies
Hands down one of my all time favorite cookies, ever, ever, ever. There’s just something so awesome about that toffee, melty chocolate and juicy craisins.
Reese’s Marshmallow Peanut Butter Cookies
Fluffy, gooey marshmallow stuffed in a peanut butter cookie. Enough said. 
Reese’s Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pie
Whatever happened to this pie is entirely my fault. At first it was just going to be a cookie pie with chocolate but then there were the marshmallows and the reese’s and oh sweet mercy it’s good!

Made these Gluten free by using cup 4 cup flour.
Sweet Basil
Yay! How did they turn out??
Carrol
So don’t tell anyone but I didn’t have Country Crock. I used the spreadable butter from Kroger & these turned out great. I did have to bake mine for 13 minutes since I was doing two sheets of cookies at once but I’m adaptable.
What a delicious little cookie. Glad to know I can ball them up & freeze for a quick bake at a later date.
Keep those creative vibes flowing! And keep the young’uns in the kitchen with you, testing & trying.
Sweet Basil
Thank you so much Carrol! I appreciate your feedback so much!
Joy
Can these cookie be made ahead, formed into balls, frozen. Baked at a later time. Do want these cookies on my Christmas to bake list among many other recipes. I take couple of days baking finishing cookies.
Sweet Basil
Yes absolutely! Bake at the same temperature. You’ll probably have to add 2 or 3 extra minutes to the bake time. Enjoy!
Aimee
So good! I subbed 1 cup of butter for the margarine and only baked them for 9 minutes. They were fluffy and gooey and really good. Great recipe! Thank you!
Sweet Basil
So glad you enjoyed these Aimee! Thank you for the feedback!
Phyllis
Can I use butter in place of margarine ?
Katie
I tried it subbing 1 C. stick butter for the Country Crock. They turned out just ok. The dough was really crumbly. I had to work to get the dough to stay together. They baked up fine but it took more work than it should have.
Becky Hardin
These cookies are DIVINE! The flavor combo…too perfect!
Bruce
It is definitely something I will have to try. Most don’t look appetizing, but I will try anything once. Definitely an interesting combination.
Bee
OMG these cookies are off the charts. I am sure my little one will love them!!!
Katerina
Marshmallow + toffee + cookies = cookie perfection! I need a dozen!
Tieghan
These cookies!! Love them and I know my family would too. Such a great treat! 🙂
Nicole
Nothing beats a freshly baked batch of cookies! I love giant chocolate chunks in my cookies with flaked sea salt on top 🙂
Frank Mosher
I understand the need to seek sponsors to keep your blog going, but I really have a problem when a major ingredient is as Brand Name only!!
Sweet Basil
Hi Frank, I’m not sure what you mean. Country Crock is the brand we worked with on this but it is ultimately each reader’s choice which brand they use.
Jackie
I don’t have a problem with it but I’m pretty sure what he’s trying to say is that the ingredient should say “margarine” if that’s what Country Crock is and then suggest that brand after that. Not everyone who reads a recipe has access to all brands and may not know what it is.
Sweet Basil
Ah gotcha! Thanks for clarifying!
Brittnee
Not trying to be controversial but I appreciate that it said Country Crock because honestly I didn’t even know that was margarine 😂 I grew up eating Country Crock and I am an avid baker but I didn’t know it was margarine I just knew it was NOT butter lol. I think those types of not butter products are not all the same so being specific will probably help people get the best results. These look delicious!
Sweet Basil
Thank you Brittnee!
