Gooey Cornflake, Marshmallow and Chocolate Cookies

I found this recipe online a while ago which looks like the ultimate over the top version of a chocolate chip cookie – I’ve had it ‘bookmarked’ in my mind and just had to give a friendly version a try! These  chocolate chip cookies are pepped up with crunchy cornflakes and oozy soft marshmallows – a kind of s’more in a choc chip cookie form with the addition of an extra crunch. Certainly not a healthy option, but an ideal treat when one is really needed, and my children certainly aren’t ones to say no to a chocolatey marshmallowy experiment! The verdict was a big thumbs up, but you certainly wouldn’t want more than one in a sitting – these are seriously sweet, filling beasts! It’s best to eat them on the day they are made, but they do keep ok for a couple of days.
