Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups Lucky Charms marshmallows (from the cereal)
Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles for extra color
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and Lucky Charms marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly set, but the center is still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Decorate with white chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles for extra flair!
Notes
You can substitute the Lucky Charms with any cereal that contains colorful marshmallows for a fun twist.
For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
If you prefer, you can skip the chocolate chips and use only the marshmallows.
