Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in small batches, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
Gently fold in the Cheerios cereal, being careful not to crush them too much.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a round, even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for a soft and chewy texture.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a glass of cold milk and enjoy your homemade Cheerios Peanut Butter Cookies!
