Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (380 g) granulated sugar
- 3 cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (54 g) Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 8 oz white chocolate bar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Creaming: Microwave butter briefly, then blend with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, creating a creamy foundation.
- Wet Ingredients: Mix eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar base, ensuring a smooth, uniform texture.
- Dry Mixture: Whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients to form a cohesive dough.
- Cereal Integration: Gently incorporate Fruity Pebbles throughout the dough, distributing colorful cereal pieces evenly.
- Shaping: Form dough into uniform balls, rolling each in granulated sugar to create a sparkling exterior.
- Baking: Arrange cookies on the prepared sheet with spacing for expansion, then bake 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Cooling: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet momentarily before transferring to a cooling rack to stabilize their structure.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt white chocolate in short microwave intervals, stirring to prevent burning.
- Finishing: Dip cooled cookies into melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place on parchment paper to set with a glossy finish.
Notes
- Butter Softening Trick: Microwave butter in 3-5 second bursts to prevent melting, ensuring a perfect creamy texture for your cookie base.
- Sugar Whipping Technique: Beat butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, which creates a lighter, more tender cookie structure.
- Cereal Distribution Secret: Fold Fruity Pebbles gently to prevent crushing, maintaining vibrant color and crispy texture throughout the dough.
- White Chocolate Dipping Pro-Tip: Melt chocolate slowly in short microwave intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
