Ingredients
For The Cookies
- ½ c unsalted butter softened
- ½ c brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 t vanilla
- ½ t baking soda
- ½ t salt
- 1 ½ c flour
- ½ c white chocolate chips
- ½ c Lucky Charm marshmallows
For The Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 T unsalted butter softened
- 3 T marshmallow cream fluff
- ½ c powdered sugar
- 1 t vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheet(s) with parchment and set aside.
- For the cookies - in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Cream until smooth.
- Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Add in the salt, baking soda and flour. Mix just until the dry ingredients are combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and marshmallows until evenly incorporated.
- Use an ice cream scoop to divide out the dough and place on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting - in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter and marshmallow fluff. Mix until combined.
- Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Bump up the speed and mix on medium for an additional minute or until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides often and mix again.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag.
- Once the cookies are cool, pipe a spiral of frosting on each cookie.
- Decorate with additional marshmallows.
Notes
- When adding the flour and powdered sugar to the mixing bowl, begin mixing at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. This will prevent these airy ingredients from flying up and out of the bowl.
- Lucky Charms can be on the pricier side, you can totally use the store brand equivalent if preferred.
- The frosting is yummy, but also an optional step. It can also be spread on with a knife or spoon, instead of transferred to a piping bag and piped on.
