FAQ

Can I make these cookies smaller?

Yes! If you prefer smaller cookies, use a medium cookie scoop and reduce the baking time to 8-10 minutes.

Do I have to use Lucky Charms marshmallows?

While they add a fun, nostalgic touch, you can use regular mini marshmallows instead.

Can I make the frosting ahead of time?

Yes! Store the frosting in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let it soften slightly before frosting your cookies.

What is butter vanilla emulsion?

Butter vanilla emulsion is a concentrated flavoring that gives a richer, bakery-style taste. If you don’t have it, vanilla extract works just fine.
