HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH COOKIES
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- Mix crisco, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute.
- Add corn starch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix for 1 minute.
- After, add flour and mix until there are no ribbons of flour visible in the dough.
- I recommend crushing the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal before adding it for a consistent dough, but if you like chunky cookies, you can add the cereal as is.
- Add the cinnamon toast crunch cereal and mix for 1 minute.
- Add white chocolate chips and mix for 1 minute.
- Use an ice cream scoop to form large dough balls.
- Add cinnamon and sugar coating mix in a small blow. Place the dough into the mix and roll them until they are completely coated.
- Place on the baking sheet 2” apart.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before frosting.
