Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups cereal (crushed, your choice)
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the crushed cereal and semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
