Fruity Pebble Cookies
Fruity Pebble cookies are a colorful and fun twist on traditional cookies, combining crunchy cereal texture with fruity flavor, making them a delightful treat for all ages.
Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature for best results.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour Spoon and level to avoid dense cookies.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional) Can substitute with dark or milk chocolate.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal and white chocolate chips if you're using them.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is okay.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them after cooling completely.
