• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the Wheaties cereal, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your crunchy-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside Wheaties cookies!
