These sugar cookies are a fun and perfect St. Patrick's Day treat! Gather the kids and head to the kitchen to make these cookies. They feature a delicious, soft sugar cookie base filled with festive and iconic Lucky Charms marshmallows.

Are you one of those who eats all the Lucky Charms cereal or picks out the marshmallows? I don't eat Lucky Charms cereal as much as I did in childhood, but I know my kids love it! When I was young, I preferred my bowl to have a higher marshmallow-to-cereal ratio, but my brother would pick all the marshmallows out of the box and leave none in it. Sometimes, I would go to pour a bowl, and there would only be cereal because he had eaten all the marshmallows.

Now, you can find boxes of just the Lucky Charms marshmallows! For these cookies, you can pick the marshmallows out of a cereal box or buy a specific marshmallows-only box.

TIPS FOR MAKING THESE SUGAR COOKIES

‍

Please keep the following tips in mind while making cookies:

- Room Temperature Butter: Soften your dairy-free butter to room temperature before making the cookie dough. This will help the butter and sugar blend and cream together effortlessly.

- Measure Flour Correctly: Use the right amount of flour in your cookie recipe. Some people prefer to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Others scoop and pat down the flour with a butter knife before leveling off the excess.

- Add Marshmallows Last: Add the Lucky Charms marshmallows to the cookie dough at the very end. Make sure the cookie dough has the right texture before adding them in. Fold them in lightly to avoid breaking and crumbling.

- Allow Cookies to Cool: After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes. This will ensure that the center of the cookies continues to bake even after removing from the oven. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

HOW TO MAKE LUCKY CHARMS COOKIES

‍

Step-by-step instructions to make these cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add in the aquafaba and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Scrape the bowl and continue mixing.
Whisk the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the cookie dough while mixing on low. Mix until just blended.
Fold in the Lucky Charms Marshmallows.
Using a cookie scoop or measuring cup, measure the cookie dough, roll it in extra sugar, and place it on the cookie sheet.
Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and cool on a baking sheet for another 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
