    Helpful Tools for Success

    Mixer 

    You will want to use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this recipe. It is going to create that creamy texture to the cookies you will want. 

    Cookie Scoop 

    Using a cookie scoop is a must as it is going to create cookies that are even in shape and size. So that when you go to bake the cookies they will bake evenly. 

    Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mats 

    Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking to the cookie sheet. 

    Variations for Recipe

    Chocolate 

    Leave out the white chocolate chips, or swap with milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, etc. Feel free to try out a different flavor of chocolate to alter the flavor. 

    Cookie Dough 

    I used this homemade cookie recipe but you can use store bought dough and then just press some of the marshmallows on top of the dough when you go to bake. 

    FAQs for Lucky Charms Cookies 

    rainbow dessert

    Why should we not refrigerate the cookies too long? 

    If you refrigerate the dough too long you will find it begins to break down the marshmallows too much. So only refrigerate for about 30 minutes. 

    How to store cookies? 

    Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Just make sure the cookies are fully cooled before you place in the container. 

    Can you freeze the Lucky charm cookies? 

    You can freeze the cookies if you would like. Just know that the marshmallows will soften quite a bit once they are thawed from being frozen. But overall the flavor of the cookies will be delicious.

    Equipment

    • Large mixing bowl
    • Electric mixer (optional)
    • Rubber spatula
    • 1.5 tbs cookie scooper
    • 2 cookie pans
    • parchment paper
    • Cookie spatula
    • Cooling rack

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¾ cup light brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 ½ cup flour
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 cup white chocolate chips
    • 1 cup cereal marshmallows Lucky charms or other brand

    Instructions
     

    • Using an electric mixer or spatula, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until soft and fluffy.
    • Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Then, add into the dough in 3 additions, making sure to mix until just incorporated.
    • Using a spatula, or your hands, mix in¾ of the white chocolate chips and about ¾ of the marshmallows. Be careful not to crush the marshmallows.
    • Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. Do not chill for longer than an hour because you don’t want the lucky charms to start breaking down from the moisture.
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Use a cookie scooper or spoons to make balls about 1 ½ tbs.

    • Place cookies on the pan, leaving 2-3” for spread. Press in white chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie balls, but do NOT put the marshmallows on yet. (they will brown and not look very pretty if you put them in now!)
      rainbow dessert
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes. For chewy cookies, you want to pull them out just when they start turning slightly brown around the edges. If you like crunchier cookies, you can leave them in for a bit longer.

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

    Notes

    Storing these cookies in an air-tight container will cause the marshmallows to soften over time. You may want to store them in a paper bag, but the cookies will start to get dried out faster than if they were stored in an air-tight container.
