Ingredients

• 2 cups Cheerios cereal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in small batches, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the Cheerios cereal, being careful not to crush them too much.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a round, even shape.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for a soft and chewy texture.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve with a glass of cold milk and enjoy your homemade Cheerios Peanut Butter Cookies!
