Lucky Leprechaun Cookies

Recipe adapted from Sugar Plum Blog

What you need:

1 TBsp unsalted buter

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cups Lucky Charms cereal pieces (not the marshmallows)

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tspsalt

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg (room temperature)

3/4 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

How to make it:
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Melt 1 TBsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in 1/4 cup sugar until combined. Bring to a boil, until sugar dissolves. Stir in cereal pieces until combined. Place in prepared pan, bake 5 minutes, stir, bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, for the cookies. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in egg until combined. Reduce speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in in candied cereal pieces, marshmallows, and chocolate chips until just combined. Scoop out tablespoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake 10-13 minutes or until slightly crisp and starting to turn golden around the edges. Cool 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool. ENJOY!
