🌕 Marshmallow Moon Bars
Soft, golden vanilla cookie bars with a gooey marshmallow layer and a dreamy chocolate drizzle. Sweet, simple, and totally out of this world.
Ingredients (makes 9–12 bars):
For the cookie base:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (or cut-up big ones)
- 1/2 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for smoother drizzle)
Instructions:
- Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment. - Mix the Base:
In a bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just mixed. - Bake the Bars:
Press dough evenly into pan. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until just golden at the edges. - Add the Marshmallow Magic:
Remove from oven, sprinkle marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes until puffed but not browned. - Drizzle & Chill:
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (microwave or double boiler). Drizzle over marshmallows. Let cool completely before slicing into bars. - Slice & Stargaze:
Cut with a warm knife for clean edges. Enjoy under a blanket with your favorite playlist.
