Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal, divided
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal gently using a spatula, and stir in white chocolate chips if using.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Press a few extra Fruity Pebbles onto the top of each dough ball.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking flour.
