Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (divided)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
  7. Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll into balls, and press the tops into the remaining 1/2 cup of Fruity Pebbles.
  8. Place the cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened but not melted. For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter or coconut oil. For gluten-free, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
