Soft and Chewy Lucky Charms Cookies
Discover these delicious Lucky Charm Cookies – a buttery sugar cookie bursting with tasty marshmallow bits, extra marshmallows, crisp edges, and soft centers. Enjoy the perfect cereal flavor in every special cookie!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Lucky Charm Cereal plus extra for topping
- ¾ cup butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- First, allow unsalted butter to reach room temperature, then cream it together with both granulated and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Add a large egg and a splash of vanilla extract. Blend together.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of Lucky Charms cereal. Using a food processor, pulverize the cereal pieces into a fine powder.
- Add the powdered cereal, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda into the buttery bowl of goodness. Mix on a low speed until it’s all incorporated.
- Fold in the mini marshmallows by hand. Fold gently until the marshmallows are distributed evenly.
- Using a large cookie scoop, shape the dough into rounds and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Gently press some extra Lucky Charms marshmallows and cereal pieces into the top of each cookie. Space the cookies 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Keep an eye on your oven, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden, yet the centers remain soft.
- Allow the baked cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Storage
Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers of cookies to avoid sticking. Cookies will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.Recipe Variations
