Apple Jacks Cereal Cookies
You'll be wowed by these Apple Jacks Cereal Cookies that combine a simple sugar cookie recipe with your favorite cereal. Kids and adults alike will fall in love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (or margarine)
- 1 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 3/4 cup Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Apple Jacks cereal (or other cereal of your choice)
- 1/3 cup Sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cream butter or margarine with sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat just until combined.
- Divide the cereal into 2 plastic bags with 1 1/2 cups in each bag. Finely crush the cereal in one bag and coarsely crush the cereal in the other bag. Stir both bags into the dough.
- Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball, roll in sugar and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- For maximum flavor, allow the cookies to sit for a day or two before enjoying. They'll taste great if you can't wait (I speak from experience!) but they definitely improve with age as well.
- Feel free to substitute the Apple Jacks cereal for any of your favorite fruit-flavored, sugary cereal.
