Makes: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 ½ cups crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (see notes)
Icing
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 Tbsp milk
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a bowl with hand mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in egg and vanilla until just combined.
- With the mixer on low, blend in flour mixture until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- Fold in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
- Scoop about 3 Tbsp cookie dough (I use a #20 cookie scoop) onto prepared cookie sheets, about an inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until just turning golden around edges. Let cool in pan for a couple minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
- When cookies are cooled completely, drizzle icing over them.
Icing
- In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Notes
- I've heard from a few readers that the cereal pieces get hard (and or very chewy) after baking the cookies. If you have this issue or are worried about it, I recommend crushing the cereal a bit more before adding to batter. Baking the cereal does change the consistency of it a bit, but I've made the cookies many time with similar sized cereal pieces and have never had a noticeable issue.
