Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 2 cups plus 2 tbsp (276g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (207g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (not heavy cream)
  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  2. Crush Cereals: Add the Fruity Pebbles cereal to a food processor and pulse until crushed into crumbs. You want to yield about 1 cup of crumbs for the dough.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the Fruity Pebbles crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set this mixture aside.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light in color and fluffy.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the whole egg and the egg yolk to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined. Then add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
  6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a thick dough forms. Avoid overmixing. Use a rubber spatula to help bring the dough together into a cohesive ball.
  7. Portion the Dough: Divide the cookie dough into 8 equal portions, each about 5-6 tablespoons or roughly 105 grams.
  8. Bake: Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-15 minutes. The cookies should lose their glossy surface and be just beginning to brown around the edges.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth to form the glaze. Place the remaining 2 cups of Fruity Pebbles in another bowl.
  11. Glaze and Coat Cookies: Dip each cooled cookie into the glaze, letting excess drip off, then immediately press the cookie into the bowl of Fruity Pebbles to coat the bottom. Set the cookies aside to dry before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, crush Fruity Pebbles gently using a rolling pin inside a sealed bag.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Glazed cookies should be completely dry before stacking to prevent sticking.
