- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and white chocolate chips if using.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed cereal on top before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
