  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack
  • Flat metal spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown butter or melted butter
  • 1 tsp coffee powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup castor sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cornflour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup
  • 2 snickers bars chopped
  • 1 cup salted potato chips
  • 1/2 cup pretzels
  • 1/4 cup cashew nuts

Eyes -

  • Mini marshmallows
  • Dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the browned butter or melted butter, brown sugar, castor, vanilla and beat for a couple of minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy Add the eggs one at a time and beat well between each egg.
  • Add the flour, oats, cornflour and mix until until combined. Add the add ons and fold together until just combined - do not over mix the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into the prepared baking tray and top with more chips, chocolate chunks etc. Bake for 9 - 11 minutes until they have spread out, risen a little, the center will still be soft when you press it which is perfect.
  • Remove from the oven and using a flat metal spatula, transfer them to a wire rack to cool, they will be soft at this stage so be careful. Stud each cookie with 2 mini marshmallows and pierce each marshmallow with a chocolate chip to create eyes. As they cool down the marshmallows will stick to the cookies with the heat.

Notes

  • You can use any add ons you prefer.
  • Do not over mix or bake these cookies or else they will become dry and tough. 
  • Bake them in batches if you have a small oven, alternatively you can half the recipe as well
