  2. Frost the cooled cookies with the vanilla buttercream and sprinkle extra Lucky Charms on top.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm, fresh out of the oven, or at room temperature. For a lighter option, consider cutting the cookies in half. Enjoying them with a piece of fruit can also add beneficial fiber.
