Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Green Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1.25 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 tsp Almond Extract
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 3 drops Green Gel Food Coloring adjust for desired shade
Toppings
  • 1.5 cups Lucky Charms Marshmallows separated from cereal

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (approx 3 minutes).
  2. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and green food coloring until the color is uniform.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients.
  4. Fold in 1/2 cup of marshmallows. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  5. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto a lined baking sheet. Press extra marshmallows into the tops.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes to set.

Notes

Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to maintain dough consistency. Press fresh marshmallows into the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven for a vibrant look.
