  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows (plus extra for topping)

Pro Substitution Tips:

• Dairy-free: Use vegan butter at room temperature

• Gluten-free: Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend

• Extra color: Add extra marshmallows on top after baking

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream butter and sugar together for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until just combined.

4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until just incorporated.

5. Gently fold in Lucky Charms marshmallows.

7. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.

8. Remove when edges are set and centers are soft.

9. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to rack.

Notes

• Do not overmix once flour is added, this keeps cookies soft.

• Cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed from oven.

• Press extra marshmallows into tops for better color.

• Dough can be frozen in scoops for up to 3 months.

• Store cookies with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
