Scale
Cookie Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) salt
Cookie Wet Ingredients and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) vanilla extract
Fruity Pebbles and Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for mixing into the dough)
- 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for rolling the cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) heavy cream or milk
- 2 ounces (2 oz) cream cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, blend softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and aerated. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly integrate dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in one cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
- Create small dough spheres and roll each ball in remaining cereal, ensuring complete exterior coverage.
- Arrange cookie dough on prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Transfer to wire rack for cooling.
- Prepare filling by whipping butter until silky. Gradually introduce powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. Blend in vanilla extract and heavy cream, beating until voluminous and light. Optional: incorporate cream cheese for additional tang.
- Construct cookie sandwiches by spreading or piping filling onto one cookie’s flat surface, then gently pressing a second cookie on top to create a delightful sandwich.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth creaming, preventing lumpy texture and promoting even mixing.
- Crush Fruity Pebbles slightly before coating cookies to help them adhere better and create a more intense cereal crunch.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Try different cream cheese ratios in filling for varied tanginess, adjusting sweetness as needed.
