Servings: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Vanilla Cake Mix (if using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 3/4 cups Lucky Charms Marshmallows
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Separate 1 3/4 cups of Lucky Charms marshmallows from cereal, and set aside.
- Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
- Then, with a large wooden spoon, gently stir 1 1/4 cups of Lucky Charms marshmallows into the batter, making sure not to break up the marshmallows as you stir.
- Set the remaining 3/4 cup of Lucky Charms marshmallows aside for later. (You'll be using them to press onto the top of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.)
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Form cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet.
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
- As soon as you remove cookies from oven, gently press a few Lucky Charms marshmallows on top of cookie, to give it a pretty finished look.
- Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
Notes
- Butter: When it comes to cake mix cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I’ve found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
- Storage Tips: After baked, you can store these tasty cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. That makes these cookies an ideal make ahead treat for St. Patrick's Day!
