Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (380 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces white chocolate bar
- 1 ½ cups (54 grams) Fruity Pebbles cereal
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) pure vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for even cookie placement.
- Gently soften butter in the microwave for a few seconds, then combine with granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Whip the mixture until it becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth creamy base.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar blend, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a clean bowl. Gradually integrate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to form a cohesive dough.
- Delicately fold Fruity Pebbles cereal throughout the cookie dough, ensuring an even distribution of colorful cereal pieces.
- Shape the dough into uniform balls, rolling each in additional granulated sugar to create a sparkling exterior.
- Arrange cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges transform into a delicate golden hue, indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to stabilize their structure before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, using short intervals and stirring between each to prevent scorching.
- Carefully dip cooled cookies into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping to remove excess coating.
- Place chocolate-dipped cookies on parchment paper, allowing the white chocolate to set and create a smooth, glossy finish.
