How to Make Lucky Charms Cookie Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add parchment paper to the baking sheets.
Step One: Cream the butter and sugars until they are nice and smooth.
Step Two: Mix in the vanilla and egg. I like to use an electric mixer for this recipe.
Step Three: Then, mix in ½ the flour, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
Step Four: Add the rest of the flour until just mixed. It may look a little dry but will hold together fine when scooped.
Step Five: Add the marshmallows. Stir.
Step Six: Make 24 cookie dough balls using a cookie scoop.
Step Seven: Put 12 on the prepared cookie sheet. I line my pans with parchment paper for easy clean up.
Step Eight: Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
Top Tip
Add some green dye to turn these into easy St. Patrick's Day cookies. Just a little bit of coloring to the cookie base is all that is needed!
Variations
- White chocolate chips - Adding chocolate chips to these lucky charm cookies is a delicious idea! Just mix them into the dough, and when you make the dough balls to bake, they'll be full of chocolate goodness.
- Cookie bars -You can use this recipe to make quick cookie bar recipes, giant cookies, or any size cookies that you want. I like to keep them uniform in size which is why I use a cookie scoop, but many people use a large round cookie cutter to make this simple Lucky Charms cookies recipe.Â

Equipment
You don't need a ton to make these fun Lucky Charms cookies. A measuring cup, a large mixing bowl, and a stand mixer are the top items. You'll want a prepared baking sheet and a wire rack for the cookies, too.
Storage
If you have these cookies from St. Patrick's Day leftover, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. I like to keep mine in a plastic bag with a slice of bread so that they don't become stale.
You can also freeze these cookies by placing them in a freezer-safe container and storing them in the freezer.
To thaw, simply move them to the fridge or room temperature.
Common Questions
The marshmallows are it! They make it an easy way to create the best cookies for a St. Patty's Day party for the kids. These delicious sugar cookies are the perfect base for the yummy marshmallows. Have fun when these cookies because they're fun to make!
The last thing that you want to do is overbake this perfect treat. The edges of the cookies should start to turn golden brown, and the middle of the cookie will firm up a bit. As they cool, they'll firm even more.Â
