Ingredients You’ll Need

1/2 cup butter: Use salted or unsalted butter that’s softened for easy mixing; if you prefer a richer flavor, salted is a great choice.
1/2 cup light brown sugar: This adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor, making your cookies chewy and delicious.
1 egg: At room temperature, it helps in mixing the ingredients smoothly and contributes to the cookie’s richness.
2 tsp butter vanilla emulsion or vanilla extract: For that unmistakable, warm vanilla aroma and flavor; emulsion provides a more intense flavor.
1/2 tsp baking soda: This leavening agent helps the cookies rise beautifully during baking.
1 & 1/3 cups flour: All-purpose flour provides the structure; don’t pack it into the measuring cup for best results.
1/4 tsp salt: Enhances all the other flavors; even sweet recipes benefit from a little salt!
2/3 cup white chocolate chips: Melts into sweet pockets of creaminess that balance the flavors perfectly.
1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows: Optional but highly recommended; they add fun, color, and texture to your cookies.
4 oz cream cheese: Softened cream cheese in the frosting gives a luscious texture and slight tanginess.
2 tbsp softened butter: Helps create a smooth, creamy frosting; again, either salted or unsalted works here.
3 tbsp marshmallow cream: Adds a delightful sweetness and fluffiness to your frosting.
1/2 cup powdered sugar: Lightens and sweetens the frosting perfectly, making it easy to spread.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract: This final touch enhances the frosting’s flavor, making it irresistible.

How to Make Crumbl frosted Lucky charms cookies

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring your cookies will bake evenly and not stick.

Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar. Beat them together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process introduces air into the dough, giving you tender cookies.

Mix in egg and vanilla: Add in 1 egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla butter emulsion (or vanilla extract). Continue to mix until everything is well-combined, and you’ve got a smooth mixture.

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 & 1/3 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Add chocolate and marshmallows: Gently fold in 2/3 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of Lucky Charms marshmallows. This gives your cookie dough that exciting and colorful surprise of goodies in each bite.

Scoop and shape cookies: Using a large cookie scoop, portion out 8 generous mounds of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten them into discs about 1 inch thick. This ensures an even bake.

Bake the cookies: Place them in your preheated oven and bake for 11-12 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden brown but the centers remain soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 20-30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the frosting: In a clean bowl, beat together 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of softened butter, and 3 tablespoons of marshmallow cream until smooth.

Finish the frosting: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, whipping until fluffy. This will be the sweet embrace for your cookies!

Frost and decorate: Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost each cookie generously and top with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows to create that stunning visual appeal.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Crumbl frosted Lucky Charms cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week, making sure to use a container that prevents moisture. For freezing, place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe zip-top bag, where they can stay for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply heat them in a preheated oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes; this refreshes the cookie’s texture but may slightly change the frosting’s creaminess.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the dough after incorporating the flour, as this can lead to dense cookies.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin to mix for the best blending.
If your cookies aren’t spreading enough during baking, slightly reshape them before transferring to the oven.
Experiment with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts or different types of chocolate for variety.
These cookies can be made ahead of time; simply freeze them after baking and frost when you’re ready to serve.

These delightful cookies promise joyful flavors and a beautiful pop of color, perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself! I encourage you to give this recipe a try as they are sure to become a new favorite in your baking repertoire.

Recipe FAQs

Can I substitute the cream cheese in the frosting?

Absolutely! If you want a lighter frosting or have dietary restrictions, consider substituting it with a dairy-free cream cheese or using whipped butter combined with powdered sugar and marshmallow cream for a fluffy texture.

How do I prevent my cookies from spreading too much?

To limit spreading, make sure your butter is softened but not melted, and chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Of course! Though white chocolate complements the marshmallows well, you can swap them for dark or milk chocolate chips, depending on your taste preferences.

What should I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?

If you find the dough too sticky to work with, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This helps firm up the dough, making it easier to scoop and shape.
