Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ½ cups (313 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Workspace: Ignite the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating an ideal surface for cookie crafting.
- Whip Creamy Base: Energetically blend butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture evolves into a light, airy consistency that promises tender cookie perfection.
- Bind Wet Components: Infuse moisture and depth by whisking eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, forming a silky, unified foundation for the cookie dough.
- Merge Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together, then delicately fold this powdery mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring minimally to preserve a delicate cookie texture.
- Embellish Dough: Gently incorporate white chocolate chips and vibrant Lucky Charms marshmallows, ensuring an even distribution that promises bursts of flavor and visual excitement in every bite.
- Bake and Transform: Dollop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them generously to allow for graceful expansion, then slide into the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes until edges turn golden and centers remain irresistibly soft.
- Final Flourish: Immediately crown each warm cookie with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows, creating a whimsical and playful finale that celebrates the treat’s magical essence.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stop stirring the dough as soon as flour is incorporated to keep cookies tender and avoid developing tough gluten structures.
- Master Marshmallow Placement: Reserve extra marshmallows for topping to create vibrant color bursts and maintain their distinct shape and texture after baking.
- Control Moisture Balance: Allow butter to soften naturally at room temperature for 30 minutes, ensuring smooth creaming and consistent cookie texture without melting.
- Achieve Perfect Spread: Space cookie dough portions 2 inches apart on baking sheet to guarantee even baking and beautiful circular shapes with crisp edges and soft centers.
