Ingredients
- 1 stick melted butter
- 16 ounces Mini marshmallows (or one full bag)
- 4 cup Cornflakes Cereal
- 3 teaspoon pink food coloring
- 1 quarter tab of butter (save this for shaping the cookies)
- 1 tablespoon Valentine's M&M's
- 1 tablespoon Heart shaped sprinkles
Instructions
- Prep Step: Link a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set a quarter of a stick of butter aside. We will use this later on in the recipe.
- Melt one stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add a 16 ounces bag of mini marshmallows (use the entire bag) and mix well into the butter until well combined.
- Remove the melted marshmallows from heat, and add the pink food coloring ½ teaspoon at a time, and keep adding the pink food coloring until the marshmallows turn the pink you want. I love this brand because it contains no artificial dyes.
- In a large bowl, add four cups of cornflakes, and add the melted marshmallows, and mix until well combined.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the cornflake cookie batter until smooth.
- Rub butter all over your hands. This will make forming your crispy cornflake cookies easier and the cornflake cereal won't stick to your hands. Take the heart-shaped cookie cutter and press the cookie cutter into the batter. You can mold the hearts with your fingers if needed.
- Add the Valentine's Day sprinkles and press the M&M's into the cookies. Let the chewy cornflake cookies cool or refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy!
