Super Easy 2-Ingredient Crispy Marshmallow Cookies

These crispy marshmallow cookies are incredibly easy to put together and only need 2 ingredients. They have crispy and light textures like meringue cookies.
Super Easy 2-Ingredient Crispy Marshmallow Cookies
This is probably one of the easiest “cookies” I have ever made in my life so far. I’m not even sure if this needs any recipe 🙂 My kids get excited that it was something they can actually do on their own. They love meringue cookies but those were not something they could do on their own. These crispy marshmallow cookies remind me of the texture of meringue cookies, light, airy, crispy, but not as sweet.

How to make crispy marshmallow cookies with only 2 ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you use large size marshmallows, cut them in half

2. Arrange 3 mini marshmallows close together to form a triangle on a baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. They will puff up a little bit. Repeat until you get 20 sets of this

3. Put this in the oven at the middle rack and bake for 15 minutes

4. Remove from the oven and quickly press one whole almond on top of each marshmallow set. Put the tray bake in the oven and bake for another 45 minutes. The long and slow baking time is to crisp up the marshmallows

5. When they are done baking, turn off the oven and leave them to cool in the oven for 30 minutes without opening the oven door. Then transfer to a cooling rack to let them cool down completely and then transfer to an air-tight container and they will stay crisp for weeks

If this is not easy, I’m not sure what is. Can you handle that? 🙂

Variations

This crispy marshmallow cookies are very flexible. You can add whatever your heart desire
1. Nuts: you can also use pistachio, sliced almonds, cashews
2. Seeds: pepita seeds, sunflower seeds
3. Dip in chocolate. You can make a simple ganache by melting some dark or semi-sweet chocolate over water-bath or microwave and stir in a bit of butter into the chocolate and then dip or drizzle chocolate on top of the cookies and let the chocolate set on top of the cooling rack

Marv's Recipe Notes

You can use salted or unsalted roasted nuts. However, if you choose salted, make sure it doesn't have other flavors like garlic, cheese, wasabi, or something like that (you get the idea). It's going to taste weird with the cookies LOL!

Is this better with salted or unsalted nuts?

Reply
Marvellina March 20, 2025 - 7:20 pm

Hi Karen, it really depends on your personal taste! One of my kids don’t like them with salted nuts, the other one like them with lightly salted nuts. I personally fine with either one. I think lightly salted is nice too, to balance the sweetness from the marshmallows!

What is the oven mode to select for both melting the marshmallows and baking the mixed marshmallows cookies?

Reply
Marvellina April 13, 2024 - 3:45 pm

I have updated the recipe accordingly. I hope that helps to clarify.

Did not try yet. Question, if you use the large marshmallow, fo you pit cut side up or down

Reply
Marvellina December 26, 2023 - 1:54 pm

It doesn’t really matter I don’t think. They will puff up and sort of melting too. You can put the cut-side down if you want to.
