- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Halal-friendly)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

- Optional: Additional cereal and sprinkles for decoration
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

- Fold in Cereal and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the Lucky Charms and marshmallows until evenly distributed.
- Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool and Frost: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. In the meantime, mix together the frosting ingredients until smooth, then spread it on the cooled cookies.
- Add Final Touches: For an extra touch of fun, sprinkle additional Lucky Charms cereal and sprinkles on top of the frosting before serving!
Top Tips for Perfecting Crumbl Frosted Lucky Charms Cookies
- Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature. This helps create a lighter cookie texture.
- Experiment with Substitutes: If you’re looking to make the cookies even more special, consider adding chocolate chips or using a different flavored frosting!
- Timing Matters: Keep a close eye on the cookies the last couple of minutes of baking. They can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
- Chill the Dough: If you want even thicker cookies, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Storage is a breeze with Crumbl Frosted Lucky Charms Cookies! You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to enjoy them later, consider freezing the dough in individual scoops, or freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to indulge, reheat cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy that freshly-baked warmth again!
