Makes About: 25 Large Cookies

Takes About: 1 hour

Difficulty: 1 out of 5 (perfect for kids!)

Prep:

Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C).

Ingredients:

2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter - room temperature

1/2 cup (115 grams) brown sugar

1/2 cup (110 grams) granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

4 cups (120 grams) honey nut cheerios

1/2 cup (80 grams) oats

Instructions:

Step 1 - Combine Dried Ingredients

In a medium bowl, mix together the 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and the set aside until needed. Step 2 - Cream the Butter

In a large bowl, cream the 1 cup butter until smooth and fluffy - about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3 - Add in Sugars

Dump the 1/2 cup brown sugar and the 1/2 cup granulated sugar into the butter and mix until light and fluffy - about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4 - Add in Eggs and Vanilla Extract

Drop both eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined - about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5 - Fold Everything Together

Dump the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until the dry ingredients are almost completely combined. With some flour remaining, drop in the 4 cups of cheerios and the 1/2 cup of oats. It will seem like there are too many cheerios, but I promise, just keep folding them together and it will come together! Fold everything together until well combined. Step 6 - Scoop and Bake Using an ice cream scooper or large spoon, place the cookies about 4 inches (11 cm) apart on the prepared backing sheet and back them for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Step 7 - Cool and Enjoy! Once baked, let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack and enjoy!
