Ingredients

Cereal Milk Frosting

  • 1 cup marshmallows and stars cereal
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with electric hand mixer, cream softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg and scraping sides of the bowl with rubber spatula as needed.
  • Then mix in the the vanilla extract.
  • Add the baking powdersalt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed until everything is just barely evenly combined.
  • Fold in the marshmallow cereal or mix it in on low speed just until combined.
  • Using a ⅓ cup or a scant 3.25 oz cookie scoop, make 12 cookie dough scoops and place 6 on each prepared baking sheet.
  • Roll the cookie dough into balls and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand so they look like thick hockey pucks.
  • Bake cookies one pan at a time on center rack for 14-16 minutes until edges are barely golden brown and the centers no longer look wet and glossy.
  • Let cookies cool on sheet pans for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cookies are cooling make the cereal milk buttercream frosting.

Cereal Milk Frosting

  • Combine ¾ cup cereal with ½ cup milk in a cereal bowl and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or whisk attachment, cream softened butter until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each cup.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Strain the milk from the cereal.
  • Add the cereal milk and mix in. Once it's all combined bump up the speed to medium and beat until light and airy, about 1-2 minutes, while scraping the sides of the bowl a few times.
  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, evenly distribute the frosting with a cookie scoop and dollop the frosting on top of each cookie.
  • Using an offset spatula or butter knife spread the frosting over top of the cookies.
  • Top cookies with remaining cereal, either crushed or whole and lightly press them down. Let the cookies rest until the frosting has set.
