Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 pieces large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1.5 cups cereal (crushed, your choice)
• 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the crushed cereal and semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
