Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 67 g
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 100 g
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt see notes if using salted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled 186g
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms cereal without marshmallows, crushed (about 2-3 tbsp once crushed)
  • 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows plus more for topping
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Add Lucky Charms Cereal (no marshmallows) to a food processor and pulse until the cereal is finely crushed. Alternatively, you can add the cereal to a ziploc bag and crush it with a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass. Set aside.
  • Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla and egg and continue mixing until combined.
  • Add in the flour, salt, crushed cereal, and baking soda and mix on low until it starts to combine. Then turn up the speed and mix another 15-30 seconds until it is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to make sure everything is incorporated. Try not to over-mix the batter.
  • Then, using a spatula or large spoon gently fold in Lucky Charms Marshmallows and white chocolate.
  • Please 2 tablespoon balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • You don’t have to worry how far apart they are as we are chilling the cookie dough, not baking it at this time. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1.5 to 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to make, preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Place the balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure they are about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden.
  • Once the cookies are done remove them from the oven and if desired, immediately press extra marshmallows onto the hot cookies.
  • Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

  • Measure out the flour using the spoon and swipe method of fluffing up the ingredients and then spooning into the measure cups and swiping the excess off the top with a knife. If you dip the measuring cup directly into the flour it can pack down and you will add too much flour to the recipe.
  • Try using an ice cream scoop to get even sized cookies!
  • For perfectly round picture perfect cookies use the cutter hack of turning cookies to perfect circles. You can also use a heat safe bowl or large cup.
  • Add any extra marshmallows immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, while they are still hot. If you wait to long, they won’t stay in the cookies.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 1.5-2 hours. You can also make and chill the dough up to 24 hours in advance.
  • This recipe makes 8-10 large cookies or 15-18 smaller cookies and can be halved or doubled needed.
