Chocolate Lucky Charms Cookies
Magically delicious and very chocolatey!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa
- 3/4 cup crushed chocolate Lucky Charms cereal see note
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup oz bittersweet or semisweet mini chocolate chips
- 1/2-3/4 cup dehydrated mini marshmallows from the cereal
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line 2-3 cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment. In a large bowl, cream the butter, vanilla, and sugars for 5 minutes. Add the eggs, beat 5 minutes. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a very thick dough forms. Fold in the chips and marshmallows.
- Form cookies by dropping 1 heaping tablespoon of dough two inches apart. I used this scoop. Sprinkle with additional marshmallows, cereal and chips if desired.
- Flatten slightly then bake until light brown, about 14-16 minutes. They may look slightly shiny in the middle but the bottoms and edges should be solid. Slide them out on the baking mat onto a cooling rack. The marshmallow may be sticky and molten so allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking mat/parchment on the wire rack before removing them to cool directly on the wire rack.
- Cool completely before serving.
Notes
I removed the marshmallows from about 1 cup of cereal and lightly crushed it with a potato masher. It sort of resembled coarse, wet sand with a few pebbles.
