If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been on a crunch and marshmallows cookie making roll lately! These Christmas Crunch Elf Cookies are smaller in size and have the awesome addition of Christmas Kisses, but otherwise they are very similar to my Hot Cocoa Crunch Cookies and my Marshmallow Crunch Chocolate Chip Cookies. You guys these Crunch cookies are amazing! I can’t get enough of them! Clearly, I can’t stop making them! And I definitely can’t stop eating them! Can you tell that I love them oh so very much?! They’re amazing. End of story. Amazing.

*A couple quick tips for your Christmas Crunch Elf Cookies!

  1. First, The Holiday Rice Krispies Cereal. Two things to know about these.
    a- If you cant find the Holiday colors Rice Krispies cereal, you can use the normal ones.
    b- In order to keep the Krispies from turning to mush in the moist cookie dough, we have to turn them into a crunchy delicious bit of awesomeness. This is a separate baking procedure. You might as well double the recipe because you’ll want to make these Christmas Crunch Elf Cookies over and over again!
    Also, Cool the Krispies mixture completely before adding it to your hot cocoa cookie dough. It cools pretty fast, so while you’re waiting on it to finish cooling, you can begin assembling your dough.
  2. Next, The marshmallows. Be sure to use Vegan Marshmallows! Regular mini marshmallows contain gelatin. As the cookies bake, regular mini marshmallows dissolve into a mess. The vegan marshmallows hold their shape and bake into gooey amazingness.
    I purchase my vegan mini marshmallows at Trader Joe’s, but you can also usually find them in the health food section at your local grocer.
  3. The Pudding in the Dough. Make sure you use INSTANT Vanilla pudding mix in your Christmas Crunch Elf cookie dough. None of that cook and serve or sugar-free whatever. They wont turn out right if it’s not the instant stuff.
  4. The Kisses. I actually use the Christmas style Hugs, because I prefer the white chocolate. You can also find mint and cherry flavored Christmas Hugs and Kisses. You can totally personalize and mix this recipe up as you see fit!
