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 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp 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 tsp 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.

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.
