1: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

    1. CSS is often referred to as the butter: Start with 1 cup (227g) of unsalted butter and then soften it at room temperature to allow for simple mixing.

    1. Cream the sugars and butter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with 1 cup (200g) of sugar that has been granulated, as well as 1 cup (220g) of brown sugar. Use an electric mixer set at medium speed to beat the mixture until the mixture is light and fluffy, for around 3 to 4 minutes.

    1. Add the eggs and Vanilla. Mix in two large eggs one at a time, ensuring that each egg is thoroughly integrated before adding another. Mix in two teaspoons of vanilla extract to create a sweet, flavorful base.

2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

    1. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl, mix with 2 1/2 cups (310g) of all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and two teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

    1. Gradually add to the mixture. Add dry ingredients to the wet mix, a tiny amount at a time. Mix slowly to mix, making sure not to mix too much. Overmixing could result in difficult cookies.

 

3: Fold in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch

    1. Crush the Cereal. Measure two Cups (50g) of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Mix it with a mixture of fine crumbs as well as small chunks.

    1. Include the Crushed Cereal. Add the Crushed Cereal: Gently fold one and a half cups of crumbled cereal in the dough. Keep the other 1/2 cup to roll the dough balls in the future.

4: Shape and Coat the Cookies

    1. Part the dough: Use cookie scoops or a spoon to scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookies you bake.

    1. The Dough Balls: Make each one into a ball using your hands. Then, roll them in the 1/2 cup of cereal until they are evenly coated.

5: Bake to Perfection

    1. Pre-heat to the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175degC) and then line the baking pans with parchment.

    1. Put Doughballs on the Baking Sheets. Lay the dough balls that have been coated on the baking pans, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow the spread.

    1. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 mins to ensure that the edges appear slightly golden and the center appears to be set.

6: Cool and Enjoy

    1. Cool on the baking sheet. Take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to sit on the cooling sheet for five minutes. This will allow them to firm up a bit without overbaking.
