Lucky Charm Cookies

Prep Time2 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Cookies, Peanut-Free, Tree Nut-Free
Servings: 40 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup finely ground lucky charms cereal (measure the cereal before grinding, don't use marshmallows)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (reserve a few for later)
  • 1 cup lucky charms cereal (reserve a few marshmallows for after baking)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour, ground cereal, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter for about a minute. Add in the sugar and vanilla; mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add in your eggs, one at a time. Be sure to mix until all of the egg is fully incorporated; scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add in the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Stir in (or mix briefly on low speed) the white chocolate chips and cereal.
  • Before refrigerating the dough, I recommend scooping/portioning it first.
    For larger cookies, portion the dough with an ice cream scoop. Place dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or use a silicone baking mat. Once all the dough is scooped, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. NOTE: If using a smaller scoop, be sure to adjust your baking time.
  • When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350℉. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place your chilled cookie onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 2” apart. Using some extra white chocolate chips, place a couple down onto the top of the cookie. Do the same with a few pieces of dry cereal (not the marshmallows - save those for after baking).
  • For large cookies, bake at 350 for about 15-18 minutes. For smaller cookies, bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. Cookies are done when the edges of the cookies look slightly browned.
  • When the cookies are done, push in a couple of marshmallows into the tops and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2-3 minutes before carefully moving them to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  1. Scoop the cookie dough before chilling.
  2. This dough will need to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (2 max).
