Cornflake Crunch Cookies are gooey chocolate chip cookies full of toasted marshmallows and cornflake crunch. They are my take on the famous Milk Bar Cornflake Crunch Cookies!

Milk Bar is famous for its incredible desserts and Christina Tosi's Cornflake Crunch Cookies are no exception! The simple cornflake crunch adds so much flavor and texture to these cookies. I added the cornflake crunch to my favorite Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies. You can find the recipe for the original Cornflake Crunch Cookies here!

Ingredients for Cornflake Crunch Cookies:

Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies:

• Unsalted butter. I always make sure to use unsalted butter when baking because there is no “standard” for the amount of salt they can add to butter. So if you add salt to a recipe and then use salted butter you could end up with a very salty end product.
• Granulated Sugar. This will sweeten the cookie dough and make it chewier.
• Brown sugar. Brown sugar adds a softer texture to the finished product.
• Eggs. It will be easier to incorporate the eggs into the batter if they are at room temperature.
• Vanilla extract. Vanilla is a must in baked goods just like salt. Real vanilla adds a better flavor than imitation vanilla.
• All-purpose flour. Measuring the flour correctly is very important. I suggest weighing your flour out (I use this scale). If you want to use a measuring cup, make sure you spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. Don’t use the cup to scoop directly from the flour.
• Baking soda. This will help the cookies to rise.
• Baking powder. This will also help the cookies to rise.
• Salt. Salt is a must in baked goods. It will help to balance out the sweetness and improve the overall flavor.
• Chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips. I prefer semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use whatever you prefer. If you’re wanting puddles of chocolate chop up a chocolate bar instead of using chocolate chips.
• Mini Marshmallows. Try not to snack on too many of them before baking!

Ingredients For Cornflake Crunch:

• Cornflakes. This is the base of cornflake crunch an will make it crunchy.
• Milk Powder. Also called Malted Milk Powder.
• Sugar. This will sweeten the mixture.
• Salt. See above note.
• Unsalted Butter. See above note.
