Notes
- Use Room Temperature Butter – Softened butter helps create a smooth and creamy cookie dough for better texture.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough – Overmixing can lead to dense cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined for a soft, chewy texture.
- Separate the Marshmallows – Lucky Charms marshmallows tend to melt quickly, so it’s best to fold them in gently and avoid overbaking.
- Chill the Dough for Thicker Cookies – If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Enhance the Flavor – Adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of almond extract can bring extra depth to the cookies.
- Watch the Baking Time – Since marshmallows can caramelize fast, check cookies at 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Use Parchment Paper or a Silicone Mat – This prevents cookies from sticking and ensures even baking.
- Crushed Lucky Charms for More Flavor – Mixing in some crushed cereal pieces enhances the cookie’s texture and adds a subtle crunch.
- Cool on the Baking Sheet First – Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to set properly.
- Make Them Extra Fun – Top with extra marshmallows immediately after baking for a colorful, festive look!
- Storage Tips – Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
