How to Make Lucky Charms Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups Lucky Charms marshmallows
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until everything is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together your flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet. When the dough is almost fully mixed, toss in about 1 cup of the marshmallows and fold until just combined.
- Scoop out your dough using a medium cookie scoop and place them on your baking sheet.
- Press a few of the reserved marshmallows on top of each dough ball for that pop of colour.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are just golden and the centres look set.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
How to Serve Lucky Charms Biscuits
These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. You can serve them as they are, or pair them with a glass of milk for a delicious treat. They also make a great addition to lunch boxes or as a sweet snack during the day.
How to Store Lucky Charms Biscuits
To keep your Lucky Charms Biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for up to a week. If you want to keep them for a longer time, you can freeze them. Just place the cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they’ll last for up to three months.
Tips to Make Lucky Charms Biscuits
- Make sure your butter is softened at room temperature for the best texture in your biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; this helps keep the biscuits soft.
- For a fun twist, try adding some chocolate chips along with the Lucky Charms marshmallows.
Variation
If you want to change things up, consider using different types of cereal or adding chopped nuts to the dough. You could also drizzle melted chocolate over the biscuits after they have cooled for an extra rich taste.
FAQs
1. Can I use any other cereal besides Lucky Charms?
Yes! You can use other cereals that you enjoy, but keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary.
2. Is it possible to make these biscuits without eggs?
You can substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal or applesauce, but the texture may change slightly.
3. How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The edges should be lightly golden, and the centres should look set. If they look too soft, they may need a minute or two longer in the oven.
