Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Wheaties cereal, crushed slightly
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the Wheaties cereal, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crunchy-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside Wheaties cookies!
