Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugars – In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add egg and extracts – Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
Incorporate dry ingredients – Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in mix-ins – Gently mix in the Lucky Charms cereal (without marshmallows), marshmallows, and white chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop and shape – Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra marshmallows on top for a fun look.
Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Cool & enjoy – Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra crunch: Add ¼ cup crushed Lucky Charms cereal into the dough.
Want even softer cookies? Slightly underbake them and let them set on the baking sheet.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
