Luckiest Charms Soft Baked Cookies

Luckiest Charms Soft Baked Cookies

For the past two years I have been making every holiday a special one. My outlook has changed and finding any little thing to celebrate. Valentine’s Day is over and March will be here before we know it. That means this little leprechaun has been thinking of creative ways to get Franco excited for St. Patrick’s Day.

When I was food shopping I saw at least three different types of Lucky Charms cereal. It got me excited and thinking of all the ways I can incorporate it with the festive treats I have lined up. I am starting off with this easy four ingredient cookie recipe!

These cereal laced cookies are soft and fluffy with hints of childhood nostalgia in every bite. I paired these with some green milk, just add some green food coloring and stir!

Set these up in the kitchen and your little ones will swear the leprechaun was here to visit.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable
  • 1/4 cup Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows separated and put aside
  • Separated marshmallows

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350 degree F and line cookie sheet.
  • Take the separated Lucky Charms cereal and put through a food processor until finely processed and powdery.
  • In a mixer, combine cake mix, eggs and oil.
  • Sprinkle in half of the processed cereal, put the rest to the side.
  • Fold in marshmallows, leave some extra to top off on cookies.
  • Scoop one spoonful of cookie dough onto cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Top with processed cereal and marshmallows.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool and serve with milk. (add green food coloring to the milk if you are feeling extra lucky!)

The fun thing about this recipe is that you can use any flavor of cake mix or add whatever you want in them!

Celebrating St. Paddy’s Day as an adult these days is enjoying corned beef and Irish soda bread but this year why not add some more fun with your kids.

We decided to make a leprechaun trap and see if he leaves anything behind for us!
