Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Add-in
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Prep Your Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients accurately and let the butter soften at room temperature. This ensures smoother mixing and a tender cookie base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly throughout the dough for perfect texture.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until it’s light, fluffy, and pale in color—this aerates the dough for lighter cookies.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time to incorporate moisture and bind the dough. Follow with the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until a smooth dough forms without overmixing.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles Cereal: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal, being careful not to crush the pieces—this keeps their color vibrant and the cookies wonderfully crunchy.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place evenly sized dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced adequately to spread. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow your Fruity Pebbles Cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then move to a wire rack for complete cooling before indulging.
Notes
- Use fresh Fruity Pebbles to ensure maximum crunch and vibrant color.
- Mix the dough just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Leave enough room on the baking tray since these cookies spread as they bake.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easier cleanup.
- Watch closely near the end of baking for soft centers that set as they cool.
