These Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies are


like a snickerdoodle cookie but blasted with
tons of cinnamon toast crunch flavor and
finished with a cream cheese frosting. They
have an epic combination of cinnamon,
sugar and white chocolate chips! You're
going to love them!

I’m sorry for not making these Cinnamon


Toast Crunch Cookies sooner. I am
apologizing because you NEED them in your
life, like yesterday!

I’m not exaggerating when I say these


cookies are INCREDIBLE. I know I talk a big
game with these best ever
snickerdoodles, but think of that cookie
and add a ton of cinnamon toast crunch
cereal flavor & cream cheese frosting. It’s
epic to say the least.

This recipe is made from the base of my


famous Kroll’s Kookies chocolate chip
cookie recipe. If you haven’t tried them out
yet, you need to ASAP.

I love using that cookie recipe as a base, and


adding to it to make different types of
cookies like this amazing cinnamon toast
crunch cookie!

I was inspired to make a cereal cookie after


watching the Milk Bar episode on Chef’s
Table. After multiple batches of cinnamon
toast crunch cookies and a lot of cereal
consumed, I nailed down the recipe.

And now all I can think about are all the


other cookies I want to make with cereal!

But these cookies are loaded with ground


cinnamon, crushed cinnamon toast crunch,
white chocolate chips and make 6 giant
cookies. Can I get an AMEN?! I hope you
love these gems are much as we do!

Ingredient Notes
You’ll notice most of these ingredients are
similar to the base recipes of all of my
cookies! Why reinvent the wheel, right?!
Scroll down to the recipe card at the end of
the post for the full list of ingredients and
measurements.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal: Two


cups of the cereal gets processed in a
food processor into a fine consistency.
This gets folded into the cookie dough.
An additional cup gets crushed lightly for
garnishing on the tops of the cookies.
Instant Pudding Mix: You’ll just add
the dry powder, no need to prepare the
pudding. I love using the white chocolate
flavor but the vanilla works well too if
you can’t find it! Adding pudding to
cookies makes them soft, chewy, ooey-
gooey and full of flavor! It helps them
stay soft for days too!
Corn Starch: Adding in cornstarch is
key to giving cookies that delectably
soft center that’s just to die for. It also
helps to keep the cookies thick and
GIANT!
Cake flour: Cake flour is finer, softer
and lighter than All-Purpose Flour and I
find using a mix of both cake flour and
All-Purpose results in the perfect cookie.
You can find cake flour in most grocery
stores, usually on the top shelf. If you
don’t have cake flour you can still make
these cookies, just replace it with All-
Purpose flour.

Step by Step Directions


Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card
for the full recipe instructions.

1 Preheat oven to 400°F.


2 Pour 2 cups cinnamon toast crunch into
the bowl of a food processor and
process until it becomes a fine powder.
3 Whisk together the dry ingredients in
a large bowl: All-Purpose flour, cake
flour, white chocolate instant pudding
mix, corn starch, baking soda, baking
powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set
aside.
4 Using a stand mixer fitted with the
paddle attachment, cream together the
butter, sugar and brown sugar on
medium speed.
5 Then add in the eggs and vanilla
extract.
6 Gradually add in the dry ingredients,
followed by the crushed cinnamon toast
crunch and white chocolate chips.
7 Scoop the cookie dough into 6 large
dough balls.
8 Roll the dough ball in cinnamon and
sugar.
9 Bake on a cookie sheet until golden
brown, use a silicone baking mat or line
the baking sheet with parchment paper
if you prefer.
10 Cool on the baking sheet then transfer
to a cooling rack to cool completely.
11 Once cooled, frost with the cream
cheese frosting and garnish with
crushed cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
You can place cereal in a baggie and use
a rolling pin to crumble it up or just use
your fists.

Expert Tips and


Variations
Use instant vanilla pudding mix if you
can’t find the white chocolate flavor.
Roll the cookies in Cinnadust if you’re
feeling fancy!
You can make homemade cake flour if
you can’t find it in stores. Homemade
cake flour: 14 Tbsp. All-purpose flour
and 2 Tbsp. corn starch. Mix these
together and sift them twice to get
them fully mixed and aerated. This
will make ~1 cup flour. You only need 3/4
cup for this recipe.
Let the cookies rest: If your cookies
are turning out too gooey, let them rest
longer. I recommend at least 15 minutes
on the cookie sheet and then transfer to
a cooling rack to cool completely. They
are even better if you let them sit and
enjoy the next day. Your cookies aren’t
ruined if they look gooey, just let them
rest!
You can make the cookies
smaller. Adjust baking time as needed.
Gluten free option: Replace both the
All-Purpose flour and Cake
flour with: Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free
1-to-1 Baking Flour
