Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened Provides rich flavor and a soft texture.
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and crunch.
- 1 cup Brown Sugar Deepens flavor and maintains moisture.
- 2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients together for creaminess.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor with a warm, sweet aroma.
- 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Builds structure and chewiness.

- 0.5 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal Adds color, crunch, and nostalgic flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully heat.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
Cooking
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Fruity Pebbles and chocolate chips (if using).
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
Serving
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For a thinner, crispy cookie, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking. Store cookies in a sealed container with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
