Notes
I tried two different ways when adding the Lucky Charms marshmallows. I first tried baking them and then I also tried adding them right after baking them when they were still soft and just before they were cooled down.
Either way works, just know that both ways also have some flaws.
If you add the Lucky Charms marshmallows before baking there is a chance that they will melt a little.
If you add the Lucky Charms marshmallows after baking, you have to make sure to add them right after you pull them out of the oven so the cookie is still soft enough to be able to push the marshmallows into the dough so they can set as they cool.
