    • Lucky Charms Cookies

    Who doesn’t love a big bowl of Lucky Charms? I knew I had to whip up a cookie that turned my favorite breakfast cereal into a fun cookie treat!

    Why This Recipe Works

    Quick and easy, these cookies take 10 minutes to make and 10 minutes or less to bake!

    These cookies are perfect fo St. Patrick's Day dessert!

    Packed full of cereal, marshmallows, and white chocolate, these cookies are incredibly delicious!

    What Goes Into This Recipe?

    Butter: I use unsalted butter, if you use salted feel free to omit the salt in the recipe.

    Lucky Charms Marshmallows: Picking through the cereal to get enough marshmallows is a pain; most grocery stores (at least in the US) sell Lucky Charms marshmallows on their own, or you can get it online!

    Instant Pudding: Instant Vanilla Pudding is my "secret" ingredient to make any cookie amazingly chewy! I use it in my classic chocolate chip cookie and love it in these cookies!

    Colorful Marshmallow Topping: This is optional and adds that much more rainbow color to the cookies. I used a few colored marshmallows placed on top, and once they melted, I swirled them together.

    Expert Tip

    If you want Lucky Charms Marshmallows to be nicely placed on top of the cookies, press them on after the cookies are baked. That way they won't melt and burn.

    Don't worry, I promise not to spam you!

    Variations

    Marshmallow Center: If you want to have a gooey marshmallow center I recommend following my technique on my marshmallow stuffed cookies. They can be a little tricky, but are so fun!

    White Chocolate Chips: Try adding other flavors of chocolate chips or leave them out altogether!

    How Many Cookies Does This Recipe Make?

    It makes 3 dozen cookies.

    How to Get Soft Cookies?

    Don't over bake the cookies! Take them out when the edges are set and they look slightly underbaked. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

    Can I Freeze the Dough?

    Yes! Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. I like to roll the dough into balls and then freeze for easy of baking later. When ready to bake, place frozen dough on a baking sheet and just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 9 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 19 minutes minutes
    Course: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 36 cookies

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup butter slightly softened
    • ¾ cups white granulated sugar
    • ¾ cups brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 ¼ cups flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallow Pieces plus more for pressing into top of cookies
    • ½ cup white chocolate chips
    • Colorful marshmallows optional for melting on top

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.
      2 ¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt
    • In a mixer or with a hand mixer and the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
      1 cup butter, ¾ cups white granulated sugar, ¾ cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • Add in each egg, one at a time. Mix in each egg completely before adding the next. The mixture should get lighter in color and thicker. You may need to beat on high for a minute or so to get everything well mixed.
      2 large eggs
    • Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium high until fully incorporated.
    • Stir in the white chocolate chips and Lucky Charms marshmallows.
      1 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallow Pieces, ½ cup white chocolate chips
    • Place rounded spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet.
    • If just baking the cookies like normal (no marshmallows on top), bake for 9 minutes, then gently and carefully press marshmallows on top to decorate.. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then move to a cooling rack. If you want to add melted marshmallows to the top, bake for 7 minutes, remove from oven, place marshmallow pieces on the top, bake for another 2 minutes, then swirl the marshmallow for a tie-dye look.

    Notes

    Tips and Tricks
    • *If you don't have unicorn chips, just replace with more white chocolate chips.
    • Soft Cookies: Don't over bake the cookies! Take them out when the edges are set and they look slightly underbaked. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
    • Freeze Cookie Dough: Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. I like to roll the dough into balls and then freeze for easy of baking later. When ready to bake, place frozen dough on a baking sheet and just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
