Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 ½ cups Lucky Charms cereal (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

        Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

          Fold in chocolate chips and cereal: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Lucky Charms cereal, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

            Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

              Top with extra Lucky Charms: For a fun touch, sprinkle a few extra pieces of Lucky Charms on top of each cookie before baking.

                Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake!

                  Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in these delightful Lucky Charms Chocolate Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
