Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
- 1.5 cups Cornflakes or crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and crispy cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crunchy drop cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or milk!
