Lucky Charms Cookies
These lucky charms cookies are the perfect sweet treat! Chewy, fun and loaded with marshmallows. Crushed lucky charms cereal adds the best flavor!
These lucky charms cookies are the perfect sweet treat to bake with your kids, or yourself! They are so colorful, and delicious!
When I was a kid, Lucky Charms cereal was my absolute favorite. It was a treat to get it once in a while. Nothing like a big bowl of sugar in the morning!
Just the smell and taste of these cookies brings me way back. They taste and smell JUST like the cereal, because there is crushed up cereal in the cookie base!
I can’t even tell you how tempting it was for me to eat a bowl or three of this cereal before using it for this recipe! Lucky the leprechaun is right when he says “they’re magically delicious!”. They really are…
These cookies are basically sugar cookies, but better! Every bite has at least one marshmallow. Ugh, those crunchy, sugary marshmallows are so good! I’m sure a lot of you guys did what I did as a kid…picking out all of the marshmallows, leaving none for anyone else. Oops. I blame my massive sweet tooth on that one!
If you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it! Make sure to check out another fun recipe of mine for fruity crispy marshmallow treats! https://thehungrylyoness.com/fruity-crispy-marshmallow-treats/
