Bake soft, chewy cookies that capture the sweet, spiced flavor of your favorite breakfast cereal. These homemade CTC cookies are simple to make and perfect for a unique dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (pulsed briefly in a food processor)
  • ½ cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, reserved for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1 cup of crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Gently press a few pieces of the reserved whole cereal onto the top of each dough ball.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra cinnamon kick, mix 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar (equal parts cinnamon and sugar) into the dough along with the flour mixture.
  • If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour for a slightly softer texture.
