These cereal cookies are one of my all time favorites! They include my favorite cereal, and my kids favorite, plus I use my favorite cookie recipe! We typically make these around St. Patrick’s Day, just because it’s fun, not because it has anything to do with the holiday!
The original cookies I made were just a mixture of cereal and store bought sugar cookie dough. So I decided to take my basic cookie dough recipe and add lucky charms cereal to them, to give them more of a homemade feel to them!
My kids were super thrilled that I decided to update this post, twice! They got to snack on some cookies so they were happy! I also updated my Lucky Charm Treats so if you are crazy for cereal treats make sure to hope over and enjoy those as well!
To Make These Lucky Sugar Cookies:
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 stick butter, softened (8 tablespoons)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking so
- 1 cup all purpose flour + 2 tablespoons
- 1 cup lucky charms cereal
- (plus extra marshmallows if you want to decorate them)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375 ℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In mixing bowl add butter and sugar. Whisk till incorporated.
- Whisk in egg and vanilla.
- Stir in flour and baking soda until incorporated.
- Stir in cereal.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop onto baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or just until golden brown.
- Cool and ENJOY!
A FEW TIPS:
- Make sure to use baking soda and not baking powder. I did this once and my cookies turned out terribly.
- Also if you would like to add more marshmallows on the top for decorations, do this when the cookies are still piping hot!

I am sooooo going to try this one. My boys would scarf them so I’m going to do these. I also have to ask -how in the world do you look so good making all these goodies?!?!?! I wouldn’t be able to NOT eat and eat and eat. When I make brownies, I have no restraint! 🙂

Lol! I have gained weight since the holidays! But we are about to head into Lent season so it is all about to come off! Thanks Cindy!
