How to Make Reindeer Poop Cookies
Melt Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the Chocolate Chips and Caramels.
Let the butter, chocolate chips and caramel melt by stirring constantly over medium heat.
Next, add the Mini Marshmallows and stir the mixture thoroughly to mix the marshmallows in evenly. The marshmallows will melt as you stir them in, binding the ingredients together.
Remove the pan from heat and add the Vanilla Extract. Then, stir to combine.
Finally, add all of the Rice Krispies Cereal and stir to coat. Don't add extra cereal as it tends to make the cookies hard and dry. Just the perfect measured amount for this recipe is best.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Use a Medium to large cookie scoop, minimum size #24, to evenly portion these No Bake Cookies.
Add scoops of the Reindeer Poop cookie mixture onto parchment paper on a baking tray until the mix is finished. The cookies will remain in basically the same shape as how they are placed on the tray.
I find that these no-bake cookies are generally set in about 30-60 minutes, so I would recommend allowing them to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
But a warm Reindeer Poop Cookie is also tasty too.
Storage & Freezing
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Cookies are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.
Freezing: These cookies can be stored in a sealed container and frozen for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper between each cookie to prevent sticking. They can be eaten frozen if you can't wait for them to thaw out!
Pro Tips
Cookie Scoop.
Using a cookie scoop keeps each ball of cookie dough the same size, which is essential for baking. I have used a medium cookie scoop in these photos. Scoop No Bake Cookies with a medium-large cookie scoop size #24 or use large spoons to place spoonfuls of Reindeer Poop on parchment paper.
Baking Sheets.
You can use an ungreased cookie sheet if you prefer. I like to use Parchment Paper to line baking sheets or a Silicone Mat for easy cleanup.
- Kitchen Scale. I use this for accuracy in measuring and it's a life saver when it comes to consistent baking
- Wire Rack for cooling cookies. I like to have at least 2 cooling racks
- Mixing Bowls. A Large Mixing Bowl for mixing ingredients and small and medium mixing bowls for other ingredients
- Cookie Sheet. Most recipes will take 2 batches to bake. It's great to have multiple baking sheets available
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat. Line Cookie Sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up and to prevent sticking.
- Cookie Scoop. A small #60 Cookie Scoop or a Medium Cookie Scoop #50 are great choices for uniform drops of cookie dough.
- Storage Container. An Airtight Container to store cookies or ZipLoc Bags work great too.
- Additional supplies. Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons along with silicone spatula are all helpful
