Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, roughly crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and continue to cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until well combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and white chocolate chips, if using.
- Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Crushing the cereal too finely will reduce the crunch—keep some texture for best results.
- White chocolate chips add sweetness, but can be skipped for a more cinnamon-forward flavor.
- Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
