Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Ingredient
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: Start by beating softened butter with both granulated and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly, which provide moisture and enhance the cookie’s aroma.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution before integrating into the wet mixture.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles: Gently fold in the colorful Fruity Pebbles cereal, ensuring you keep the vibrant flakes intact for maximum crunch and visual appeal.
- Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto lined baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading, then bake at 350°F (175°C) until the edges just turn golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to ensure smooth blending with sugars for perfect texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles gently to retain their crunch and vibrant color.
- Chill dough 20-30 minutes if cookies spread too much during baking.
- Watch baking time closely; remove cookies when edges are set but centers still soft to avoid drying out the cereal.
