Equipment
- Standing or handheld mixer
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cup +2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand held mixer, combine the butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract and combine once more. You might need to scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything is getting mixed!
- Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form, then stir in the lucky charms marshmallows.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, or a tablespoon, scoop out 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough. Place on the baking sheet so they’re 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 8-11 minutes. The edges should look set but the cookies should not be golden brown - the tops may look a little under-baked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
Measuring Flour: Properly measure your flour using either a kitchen scale or by fluffing it up in the bag with a fork, then using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use the back of a butterknife to level it off (the is the scoop and level method)
Butter: if necessary, butter can be replaced with coconut oil (solid at room temperature, not melted)
White Chocolate Chips: Feel free to add half a cup of white chocolate chips if desired. Note that this does make the cookies much sweeter.
Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.
The baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.
