Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (slightly melted)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp corn starch
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cups Sprinkles (jimmies - long skinny type)
- 6 large vegan marshmallows (must be vegan without gelatin)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 TBS water
- 1 tsp light corn syrup
- ⅓ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
Instructions
- Beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer.
- Once butter and sugar are light and fluffy, add the vanilla extract and the egg and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt then whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined, don't over mix.
- Add the sprinkles and stir in with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Scoop out 24 balls of dough using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Slightly flatten balls then place a marshmallow between two flattened balls to create one large cookie dough ball. Repeat with remaining balls so that you end up with 12 large dough balls.
- Remove balls from freezer and place half the balls 3 inches apart on the second baking sheet then rearrange the remaining balls so they are also at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F then bake cookies for 17 - 20 minutes or until edges are just starting to brown. Cookies will be soft in the middle but will continue cooking as they cool. Let them cool completely on baking sheet before transferring.
- Prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, water and corn syrup until desired consistency.
- Lightly ice each cooled cookie and top with Lucky Charms marshmallows while icing is still wet.
- Let icing dry completely before serving or stacking cookies.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Do not over bake the cookies or they will dry out and be crispy instead of soft in the middle. Error on the side of taking them out too early rather as they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Try some without the icing and Lucky Charms on top. I personally prefer them that way (but my kids are wild about the marshmallow topping). They make great sprinkle cookies for any holiday!
- To freeze, wrap each individual baked cookie in plastic wrap then place in a food safe container in the freezer for up to two months. Bring back to room temperature before baking. If you’d like to freeze the raw cookie dough, freeze the cookie dough balls first in a flat layer on a baking sheet for at least 30 minutes then place in a freezer-safe container to freeze. This helps keep them from sticking together when put in the larger container. Bake directly from frozen.
- Ingredient Notes:
- Vegan marshmallows – these have to be vegan marshmallows (I used Dandies and they worked perfect). Vegan marshmallows don’t have gelatin, so they don’t dissolve in the cookies like normal marshmallows do. If you try using regular marshmallows, they’ll leak out during baking. If you’ve never tried vegan marshmallows before, they taste pretty much identical to regular ones!
- Sprinkles – use jimmies (the long sprinkles) in these for the best results. If you use the little circle sprinkles (nonpareils), they tend to bleed into the cookie dough, which can totally change the color of the dough.
- Butter – unlike most baking recipes that call for softened butter, you’ll actually slightly melt the butter for this recipe, but just slightly. You still want most of the butter intact. Also, you’ll want to use unsalted butter for this. If you only have salted, change the added salt from 1/2 tsp to 1/4 tsp.
- Lucky Charms Marshmallows – you can either sort the marshmallows out of a regular box of cereal or just grab a bag of these Lucky Charms marshmallows instead (much easier).
