Ingredients

  • 4 oz (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 106 grams (½ cup) brown sugar
  • 99 grams (½ cup) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 240 grams (2 cups) flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend together the butter and sugars on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. With the mixer on low, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Place the bowl of dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, form cookies into balls. Place each cookie on a parchment lined cookie sheet a few inches apart.
  7. Top with Lucky Charms marshmallows. You can fit 8-10 on each cookie and might have some leftover.
  8. Bake the cookies for about 13-15 minutes. You can use a round cookie cutter or cup to "cookie scoot" or round them out at about the 10 minute mark.
  9. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for a few days but are best when enjoyed right after baking as the marshmallows can become soggy.
  • Cookie dough can be made ahead, scooped, rolled in sugar and placed in a ziploc bag to be frozen for up to two months. Once you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, add the marshmallows, and bake. You’ll need to add on an extra 5 minutes or so to the original baking time.
