Lucky Charms Cookies

So for this post I decided to try something that I didn't particularly have a recipe for. You see there's this really good cookie place by me that occasionally will have Lucky Charms Cookies (I'm obsessed). So I called in the other day to ask if they knew when the next time they'd have them would be and they said SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!! There was no way I would be able to hold out until March for this cookie, so I decided to try and make them myself. And you know what?

THEY TURNED OUT AMAZING! Like I had to stop eating them because I was making myself sick.

So recalling the cookie I'd had before I was pretty sure it was a sugar cookie so I used my go-to sugar cookie recipe that I found in a Google search long ago, which you can find here.

So for this recipe you'll need: flour, sugar, butter, baking soda, baking powder, an egg, vanilla extract, and of course Lucky Charms cereal.

First you'll need to pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.

So next you start out by mixing 2 3/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of basking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder in a small bowl

Next, cream one cup of softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a mixer until smooth.

Then you beat in one egg and a teaspoon of vanilla.

Next, you slowly add in the flour mixture. I did about a cup at a time until it was all incorporated.

Your mixture should look something like this when you're done

Okay so now, you're going to get as much dough as you can off of the beater and take your mixing bowl off of the mixer. I hand mixed the Lucky Charms in because you don't want the cereal and marshmallows to get all crushed up in the batter, you want them to be whole and give your cookie a sweet crunch.

So I ended up adding about 2 cups of Lucky Charms, and it turned out to be the perfect amount for the cookies. Make sure you really get it all mixed in the dough so that each cookie has enough cereal and marshmallows.

So now you just make the dough into balls and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. I tend to make my cookies big so I got twelve on a sheet.

Then you just pop them in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes depending on how large you're cookies are. If you make big cookies like me, it'll be more towards the 15 minute mark, but watch them as it gets close.

I was really impressed and happy with the way these cookies came out! They were absolutely amazingly delicious!
