<p>Cookie lovers will swoon over this sweet-and-salty recipe. We created a "compost cookie"-style treat using ground Lucky Charms "flour," marshmallow bits, and loads of white chocolate chips. Take the cookies out of the oven while they're still pale golden (and scrunch in the sides using an offset spatula, if desired) — that's what gives them their soft, chewy centers! </p>
