The Story Behind the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
I’m a sucker for Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. In my honest opinion, it is hands down the BEST cereal there is. One it doesn’t hurt the roof of your mouth like several other cereals do. I’m looking at your Cap’n Crunch. Secondly, it’s got delicious flavor. I even love munching on it plain or sticking it on top of a yogurt parfait.
Crumbl likes to make cookies with cereal. In fact, I think they had a cereal week a while ago where all of the cookie flavors were based on cereal. There was a Cinnamon Toast Crunch inspired one, but it only had cereal on top.
I was inspired to make a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookie that had the cereal inside the cookie, instead of a decoration on top.
I quickly found out that there was good reason it was only on top. Cinnamon Toast Crunch becomes really weird when left in chunks and then baked. It becomes crisp and chewy all at the same time. So instead of giving you guys a recipe that’s disgusting, I got to work and finally nailed it. You’ll love this. I gave these to a friend on her birthday not knowing that he favorite cookie was a snickerdoodle.
While I’m not claiming these to be a snickerdoodle, they are similar but more over the top. You won’t be disappointed. Promise.
