I truly believe that Rice Krispie Treats are every child's favorite cookie. I know that it was mine, what am I talking about was, it still is. The more marshmallows the better. It is also the most simple recipe you can find. The perfect cookie to make with your children of all ages.

All you need is a box of rice krispies, butter, vanilla extract and marshmallows. If you want you can add a little something special like chocolate chips.

To start making the cookies you first need to melt your butter. About 2 tablespoons. Be sure to use a low to medium setting on the stove.
Then add your bag of marshmallows. Keep stirring as they melt so it won't burn on the bottom.
While the marshmallows are melting add in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
Once everything has been melted and stirred together remove from the heat to add your rice krispies. This step varies on quantity. Some people like it with a lot of marshmallows others not so much. You can also add your chocolate chips now.
Scoop out all the rice krispie mix into a 2 inch deep cookie pan, place in your fridge to let cool.
Once the treats are chilled, cut and serve.

Yummm, enjoy.
