White Choco Chip Cashew Oatmeal Cookies

I like my oatmeal cookies crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. My secret... I add marshmallow bits.




Ingredients :

1 cup butter (the bigger stick), softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups whole rolled oats (not instant!)
1/2 cup white choco chips
1/4 cup chopped unsalted cashew nuts
about 6 big marshmallows cut into 16 pcs each


Please use only whole rolled oats. Instant is no good.



Also, use imported marshmallows. Local ones will not melt. Cut each marshmallow into 16 pcs. Just about as big as a large choco chip.

Let's get started...

Preheat oven 175 C (350 F).



In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix.


In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Half cup at a time, mix into creamed mixture.



Do not over beat, as it will result in a cake-like textured cookie.



Add oats,
choco chips, marshmallows and nuts.





Drop spoonfuls at a time on a cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes. Bake until edges are just browned so cookies are still chewy.


O ha! Check it out!









Of course regular chocolate chips are just as good! Other combinations I've tried are chocolate chip/walnut, white chocolate/macadamia, and dried mango/cashew. All very delicious with or without the marshmallows!
