Notes
**Sophie’s Pro Tips for Success:**
* **Room Temperature Ingredients are Key:** For both the cookie dough and the frosting, ensure your butter, egg, and cream cheese are at room temperature. This helps them cream together smoothly and evenly, resulting in a consistent texture.
* **Do Not Overmix:** Once you add the flour, mix only until just combined. Overmixing develops gluten, leading to tougher cookies.
* **Accurate Flour Measurement:** Spoon and level your flour, don’t scoop directly from the bag, which can compact it and add too much flour.
* **Don’t Overbake:** These cookies are meant to be soft and chewy. They might look slightly underdone in the center when you pull them out, but they will continue to set as they cool. Overbaking leads to dry cookies.
* **Cool Completely Before Frosting:** This is crucial! Frosting warm cookies will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
* **For the Best Lucky Charms Experience:** We highly recommend sifting through the cereal to use only the marshmallows for optimal texture and flavor in the cookie.
**Storage Instructions:**
Store leftover frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If refrigerating, let them come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
**Freezing Instructions:**
* **Cookie Dough:** Scoop and flatten cookie dough balls, then freeze on a parchment-lined tray until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
* **Baked Cookies:** For best results, freeze unfrosted cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature and then frost.
