Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Main Ingredient
- 1 1/2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather all ingredients and let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy to ensure perfect cookie texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well so all flavors meld seamlessly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to keep cookies tender.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles: Gently fold the Fruity Pebbles cereal into the dough, distributing the colorful crunch evenly without crushing the cereal too much.
- Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving their chewy texture.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth dough.
- Stir dough just until combined to avoid toughness.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles gently to keep cereal shape intact.
- Optional: Chill dough for 30 minutes to minimize spreading and enhance flavor.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
