Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with silicone mats or parchment.
Step 2
Take
Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal (20 g)
and pour the
Milk (60 mL)
over it in a bowl. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Set up a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Take the remaining
Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal (60 g)
and place it in a zip-top plastic bag. Crush it all into crumbs with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or whatever you have on hand.
Step 4
Drain the milk through a strainer into a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Discard the soggy cereal.
Step 5
Whisk the
All-Purpose Flour (155 g)
,
Baking Powder (2 g)
,
Ground Cinnamon (1 g)
,
Salt (3 g)
, and a 1/4 cup of the crumbs in a bowl for the dry ingredients.
Step 6
Combine the
Cream Cheese (225 g)
,
Butter (1/2 stick)
, and
Dark Brown Sugar (220 g)
in the stand mixer bowl and beat them together thoroughly. Then pour in the cereal milk and the
Egg (1)
, letting them get completely mixed in. Slowly pour in the dry ingredients until you have a soft, sticky dough.
Step 7
Use a heaping 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, scoop perfect mounds of dough right onto the lined sheet trays, putting 12 on each sheet, evenly-spaced. Generously sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of each mound of dough.
Step 8
Bake them for 15-20 minutes until just golden around the edge.
Step 9
Let them cool for a few minutes before letting them completely cool on a cooling rack. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and enjoy!
