Description

These Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with nostalgic flavor. Brown butter adds a nutty depth, while crushed cereal gives a sweet cinnamon crunch.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed
  • 1/2 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, whole (for topping)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and continue cooking until it becomes golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  7. Fold in the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch and optional white chocolate chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few whole cereal pieces on top of each cookie for decoration.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
  10. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Don’t skip browning the butter — it adds deep flavor.
  • Cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.
  • You can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
