Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a creamy foundation by vigorously whipping butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, developing a fluffy texture that will enhance cookie softness.
- Introduce moisture and flavor by incorporating eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a smooth, cohesive base that will bind the cookie ingredients.
- Craft the dry mixture by carefully combining flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate vessel, then gradually integrate this powdery blend into the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Elevate the cookie’s personality by gently folding in white chocolate chips and colorful Lucky Charms marshmallows, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough for maximum flavor and visual appeal.
- Shape the cookies by dropping rounded tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with ample spacing to allow for gentle spreading during the baking process.
- Transform the cookies in the oven, baking for 9-11 minutes until the edges become golden and firm while maintaining a delightfully soft center.
- Complete the magical transformation by immediately adorning each freshly baked cookie with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows, creating a whimsical and eye-catching final touch that celebrates the playful nature of these treats.
Notes
- Customize marshmallow intensity by adjusting the amount of Lucky Charms marshmallows to match your sweetness preference.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Swap white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile that complements the marshmallow sweetness.
- Use gluten-free flour and ensure Lucky Charms are gluten-free to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
