Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor

  • 1 1/2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This helps to create a soft and tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating just until combined to enhance flavor and bind the ingredients.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Fold in Fruity Pebbles: Gently stir in the Fruity Pebbles cereal, ensuring even distribution without crushing them, to preserve their crunch and colorful appearance.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set while retaining chewiness inside.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 15-30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading and improve texture.
  • Use fresh Fruity Pebbles cereal for better crunch and vibrant color.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
  • Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers still feel soft for the perfect chewy texture.
  • Try making mini or larger-sized cookies depending on your preference.
