I almost didn’t post this cookie. They came out of the oven looking thin and frisbee-like, which was the opposite of what I was going for, and I nearly chalked it up as a fail. Then I ate one. It was magical. It did not matter one bit that they were flatter than expected. What they lacked in height, they made up for with wonderful texture and flavor.
These cookies are seriously bursting with Fruity Pebble goodness. The fruity cereal even keeps its crispy texture! Also, since they have cereal in them, if you dunk them in milk, it counts as breakfast. Maybe. I’m not a nutritionist, but it seems logical to me.
This recipe is adapted from one of my favorite cookies on the planet, the confetti cookie from Momofuku Milkbar. If you haven’t already tried them, you should. They. Are. Amazing.
