Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
- 1½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows
Base Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
Enhancing Ingredients:
- ¾ tablespoon mint extract
- 3–4 drops green food coloring
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Cream ½ cup softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Incorporate 1 egg, ¾ tablespoon mint extract, and 3-4 drops green food coloring, blending until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Slowly add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the wet mixture.
- Mix the dry ingredients gently until a smooth dough forms without overmixing.
- Fold 1 cup mint chocolate chips and 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows into the dough, distributing them evenly.
- Roll the dough into small, uniform balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for exactly 10 minutes, watching for a light golden color around the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to set.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for the smoothest, most evenly mixed cookie dough that blends perfectly.
- For extra crunch, crush some of the Lucky Charms marshmallows before folding into the dough to distribute flavor more intensely.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and help the cookies maintain a thicker shape.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and soft.
