After I made these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies I knew I had to explore making more cereal cookies. ? Nostalgia alert! Growing up, Fruity Pebbles cereal was reserved for weekend cereal in our house so I always looked forward to Saturday and Sunday. My brothers were always fans of cocoa pebbles (which I also love) but fruity pebbles have a special place in my heart. It’s crunchy, colorful and a delicious cereal that made any morning a great morning and now you can enjoy it for dessert. #HeckYes This recipe is made from the base of one of my most popular cookies: Funfetti Cookies. It’s essentially a downright delicious sugar cookie with vanilla pudding mix and fruity pebbles candy bar. You literally won’t be able to just take one bite! In addition to flour, baking soda and vanilla extract, this recipe has some of stand out ingredients:
Vanilla Pudding Mix: I’ve been adding pudding mix to my cookie recipes lately and it makes them so soft and yummy! Cake flour: Cake flour is finer, softer and lighter than All-Purpose Flour and I find using a mix of both cake flour and All-Purpose results in the perfect cookie. You can find cake flour in most grocery stores, usually on the top shelf. If you don’t have cake flour you can still make these cookies, just replace it with All-Purpose flour. Fruity Pebbles Candy Bar: you can find these at Walmart or larger supermarket stores or online. If you can’t find them, using white chocolate chips is a great substitution. They taste like a cereal and milk cookie when adding the white chocolate! Corn Starch: Cornstarch is key to giving cookies that delectably soft center that’s just to die for. It also helps to keep the cookies thick and GIANT! Adding extra egg yolks: Another way to promise a super chewy cookie is to use extra egg yolks! The extra egg yolks add richness, soft tenderness, and binds the dough. Unsalted butter: I use cold, unsalted butter in my recipes. No need to let it soften to room temperature.
