Ingredients
COOKIES:
- 2 ½ cups organic all-purpose flour
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temp.
- 1 large egg, at room temp.
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 cup organic cornflakes
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
TO MAKE THE COOKIE BATTER:
- In a large bowl, add in the softened butter and sugar, beating them together using a hand mixer (or electric stand mixer) until the mixture looks smooth and fluffy. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and continue to mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt, whisking together until combined.
- With the mixer on low-speed, add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the mixture becomes smooth, moistened, and holds together well. Fold in the cornflakes, Lucky Charms, and rainbow sprinkles until incorporated. NOTE: The cereal might need a little pressing in to get them to stick.
CHILL THE COOKIE DOUGH:
- NOTE: For chewier, less spread out cookies, be sure to chill your dough for 1-2 hours before moving to the next step!
BAKE THE COOKIES:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a standard cookie scoop, scoop (about 1 tablespoon or so) each cookie dough (lightly rolling them in the palms of your hands) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1-2 inches between each cookie for spreading when they bake.
- Bake for 12 to 13 minutes (checking it after about 10 minutes), or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and leave the cookies onto the baking sheet to cool completely.
- Enjoy with your favorite glass of milk or tea.
- Bon Appetit!
Notes
- STORAGE: Once properly stored in an air-tight container, cookies last for 3-4 days at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a little longer. Reheat slightly (a few seconds) in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave when ready to serve.
- FREEZE: You can also freeze your cookie dough (once formed into a ball) so that you can store them longer and bake as needed.
- CHILL VS. NON-CHILL: To learn more, see the actual post for details!
- LARGER BATCHES: To make more cookies, simply double or triple the amount of ingredients!
