Here’s what you’re going to need for this Lucky Charm cookie recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Lucky Charm Marshmallows
You can get the marshmallows alone by searching online for “cereal marshmallows” – plus some stores sell them without the cereal.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
I haven’t frozen these, but I would say you can for a few months. When you bring them out of the freezer, let them rise to room temperature naturally as opposed to microwaving.
