Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla or white cake mix (15.25 oz)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla or white cake mix, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
- Add Cereal and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal and white chocolate chips (if using), making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough to maintain the colorful, crunchy texture.
- Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up without breaking.
Notes
- For extra crunch and visual appeal, sprinkle a few extra Fruity Pebbles on top of each cookie before baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 4 days.
