60 minSticky marshmallow binds crispy rice cereal, raisins, and pecans into chewy balls that need zero baking.
Kids can help shape these into snowballs and roll them in sugar for a fun after-school project.
Vanilla and almond extracts add depth to what could otherwise be one-note sweetness.
These cookies come together in under an hour from start to finish.
Kitchen Tips
- Grease your hands well before shaping or the sticky mixture will coat your fingers
- Work quickly once marshmallow mixture is added; it sets up fast as it cools
- Press firmly when shaping so balls hold together and don’t fall apart
- Make these on dry days; humidity makes the powdered sugar coating dissolve
