- 1 cup softened butter or margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks cut up some wafers or use a chunky bar!
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows hand-picked from the cereal box
- Topping: Extra Lucky Charms and flaky salt
Cream It Up
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. You want the mixture to look lighter in color and feel fluffy—like clouds made of sugar. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times while mixing.
Dry Ingredients Time
In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour. Slowly add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Stop and scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure everything’s combined. Don’t overmix—just mix until the flour streaks disappear.
Bake to Perfection
Pop them in the oven for 9-11 minutes. Here’s a pro tip: when there’s about 3 minutes left, check on them. If they’re not flattening enough, gently press them down with a spatula. Once they’re out, sprinkle some flaky salt on top immediately—it sticks better and adds a delightful crunch.
- The cookies should appear slightly underbaked when removed from the oven; they will continue to set as they cool.
- For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and white chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
