Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Lucky Charms cereal, plus extra for topping
1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows, if separated from cereal
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
6. Fold in the Lucky Charms cereal, Lucky Charms marshmallows, and white chocolate chips gently so the marshmallows stay as intact as possible.
7. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
8. Press a few extra cereal pieces or marshmallows on top for a colorful finish if desired.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use fresh cereal and add some extra marshmallows after baking for the brightest look.
Do not overbake the cookies because they will continue to set as they cool and stay softer in the center.
