Gluten Free Lucky Charms Cookies

After months of training, I’m running the LA Marathon this weekend! I can’t believe it’s finally here and I’m very nervous. Not just because I have to run 26 miles, but because I’m fighting a cold and recovering from an injury. I need all the help I can get so I decided to calm my fears with a little baking. General Mills sent me a box St. Paddy’s Day box of Lucky Charms so I decided to make cookies with them.

These aren’t just any cookies. They’re Gluten Free oatmeal cookies with Lucky Charms and Chocolate chips. I made them because I wanted something to eat while I’m  waiting for the marathon to start. The marathon starts at 6:55 am at Dodger Stadium, but runners have to be there at least two hours early. And it’s not nearby so we have to leave very early.

Anyhoo, I was trying to think of something to eat that contained Lucky Charms – many of best runs were after eating a bowl of Lucky Charms or Honey Nut Cheerios – that wasn’t plain cereal. This is what I came up with and they were delightful! I hope you enjoy them.
