Boxed cereal does not make a regular appearance at our house. But we do get a box occasionally. It’s typically used as a snack instead of breakfast. And lots of times, it’s used to make these awesome cookies.
The dough is friendly to lots of cereals, so feel free to use your family’s favorite. I used Apple Jacks (well, honestly, the Kroger generic brand called “Apple Dapples”) this time, but have successfully used fruit loops and fruity pebbles in the past.
Apple Jacks Cereal Cookies
- 1 c. butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 3/4 c. flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- 3 c. Apple Jacks (or cereal of your choice), coarsely crushed
- 1/3 c. sugar, for garnish
1. Cream butter or margarine with sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat just until combined. Stir in coarsely crushed cereal.
2. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
This recipe makes between 5 and 6 dozen cookies. I tend to make the whole batch at once since then we’d just eat them all at once. I usually freeze half the dough instead.

YUM! Those look delicious, and what a good way to use up some leftover cereal.
I have to ask–when are you going to do the 30-minute-meal thing again? I love those.

so creative, I don’t buy sugary cereal even on sale because my kids crave sweet enough as it is they don’t need it for breakfast, but I would use itto make cookies for dessert treats! Great tip

I wonder how those would taste with crushed Reese’s Puffs (which is what I have on hand right now).
My kids aren’t big on “fruity” cereals. I usually have Cocoa-something on hand though.

Just made these tonight, and they are delicious! Just like the post above me, I was thinking they’d be good with Reese’s Puffs. I plan on making those in the future. Thanks for another great recipe!

I just want to start off by saying I’m a terrible cook. I made these cookies early this morning and they turned out great. I’m looking forward to trying different types of cereal with this great recipe.

I tried making these today, but they ended up tasting extremely off. I think it might have been either I put too much baking soda in or my dad thinks it might have been the cinnamon in the apple jacks. They tasted good when you put them in your mouth, but then they tasted like you put in a teaspoon of old bay. Uhh.. Any idea?

Do not cash to buy a house? Do not worry, just because it is achievable to get the business loans to solve such kind of problems. Therefore get a term loan to buy all you need.

Yikes this really takes me back, i’ve been wondering about this for a while.
