    Step-by-Step: How to Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Preheat and Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Set your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Crush your cereal gently\u2014not too fine! You want texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Cream the Butter and Sugars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Add the Magic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Fold in crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch and white chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 20\u201330 minutes to help the cookies bake thick and chewy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Add a pinch of nutmeg<\/strong> for deeper bakery-style flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Want a glaze?<\/strong> Drizzle with a simple vanilla icing while warm!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
