How long to Bake:
These cookies do not take long to bake. After placing them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place in the oven. Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes or until the edges are a golden brown. Remove from the oven.
If the cookies are still soft in the center, they will finish cooking while on the baking sheet.
Cooking time will vary based on your oven.
How to Store Lucky Charm Cookies:
Store the leftover cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to 5 days.
If you are planning to attend a party, these are the perfect cookies to make ahead of time. They would also be perfect to wrap up in gift bags for a take home gift.
How to Freeze:
There are two ways that you can freeze cookies. You can freeze them after mixing the ingredients or freeze after baking them. For all the tips and tricks, check out How to Freeze Cookies for Baking.
Freezing cookie dough is a great way to save time and money. My family loves a delicious, warm cookie so I like to keep cookie frozen individually. This way I can take out the amount we need.
Recipe Tips:
- Cookie Scoop – We recommend using a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough on the baking sheet. This keeps the cookies about the same size so they cook about the same time.
- Baking Sheet – Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes it easy to remove the cookie and for easy clean up.
- Mixing the Ingredients – Make sure not to overmix the ingredients. This can create a tough texture cookie. Mix the ingredients until combined.
- Chill Dough – After combining ingredients, allow the dough to chill for about 30 minutes but for no longer. If you allow the dough to chill for long periods the dough starts to break down.
- Marshmallow – Reserve some marshmallows to top the cookie with as soon as the come out of the oven.
- Baking Cookies – We recommend to not over baking the cookies. We bake the cookies until they have golden edges then remove from oven. They will finish baking while on the baking sheet.
Variations:
- Add Food Coloring – You can easily add some green food coloring to add to the St Patrick Day theme.
- Chocolate Chips – We add in white chocolate chips but you can leave them out.
- Melt Chocolate – Melt some candy melts and dip half the cookie in the melted chocolate.
- Ice Cream – Serve the cookie topped with ice cream. Mint chocolate chip woudl be a fun and festive dessert.
