  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, and cook stirring constantly, until melted.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in food coloring and vanilla, then stir in cornflakes.
  • Set out one or two sheets of waxed paper. Fill a skillet with 1 inch of very hot water. Place the saucepan into the skillet so cookie dough stays warm.

  • Allow cookies to cool to room temperature before removing from waxed paper, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
