Serves: 30 Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups Western Family Berried Treasure cereal, divided
- 1 cup Western Family All-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Western Family Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Western Family Salt
- ½ cup Western Family Unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup Western Family Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Western Family Brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup Western Family Peanut butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Western Family Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a resealable plastic bag, crush 1 cup cereal with a rolling pin. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and crushed cereal. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy, 5-6 minutes.
- Add peanut butter, egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue to mix until well blended.
- Add in dry mixture and stir until combined.
- Scoop one inch balls of dough onto lined baking sheets and use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten each ball.
- Top each pressed ball with 3 or 4 pieces of cereal and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned.
- Let cool before serving.
- Tips: Take your time as you let the butter and sugars cream together. It should whip up and be a fluffy consistency. The more air you introduce into your butter mixture, the softer your cookies will be.
