Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies are a soft, chewy way to enjoy the cinnamon sugar flavor of the favorite cereal!
We are cereal people in my house.
Cereal for breakfast..of course…
Cereal for after school snacks.
And yes, the occasional cereal for dinner. THINGSGETBUSY!
So now…I’ve decided cereal for dessert needed to happen. In cookie form.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of our favorites and to me, is the perfect pairing for a cookie.
Perfect pairing. Heh. I think I’m fancy.
Anyhow, these cookies are perfectly sweet and perfectly chewy…with the perfect amount of cinnamon. With 2 cups of CTC crumbs baked right in it’s like handheld cereal. I’m basically a genius. Sorry, that’s annoying.
And of course I drizzled them with a little white chocolate to make them look purty…but you could totally bake white chocolate chips right inside too!
Just start with 4 cups of your cereal…
When you crush it up, those 4 cups become about 2 cups.
Mix those crumbs right into the batter.
Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet. I used my large cookie scoop.
Bake them for 8-9 minutes-ish.
And look how pretty they are…
But again, I think a little white chocolate never hurt anyone.
Here are some more cereal inspired treats you will love!

Umm…first all, I second Karly’s comment! And secondly, these cookies are SO COOL! Such a fab baked cereal treat!
I keep a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch around so at night when I’m reading, I can pour a big bowl with no milk and eat it like popcorn. But then my husband goes and copies and pours himself a bowl and I don’t know why, it just annoys me. IT’S MY THING.
Anyways. These cookies. I will make them and hide them and my husband will never find them.
My hubby’s favorite cereal. I may have to hide the box and make a batch of these for Christmas.
These sound like snickerdoodles times one million! I’ve been looking for a recipe with Cinnamon Toast Crunch since I tried to make brownies with it and everything went terrible wrong.
Cereal was my all-time favorite after school snack as a kid, and if mom bought Cinnamon Toast Crunch, it was a full-house battle to consume as many bowls as possible before the box went empty. Love the idea of baking it into cookies–I have no doubt we’d still try to race each other for the last one!
Oh my gosh I love this idea!!!
Oooo, yum… we love Cinnamon Toast Crunch over here! These look fabulous!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of my favorites! I’ve never met a (sugary-ish) kiddie cereal I didn’t love. HIde the Capn Crunch and Trix 🙂 I love that you baked C.T.C. into cookies. How fun! And a little white choc never hurt anyone. You’re so right!
My kids eat cereal just about every day. their preferred kind is Cinnamon Toast Crunch!! They are going to love these!
WHOA. Cinnamon toast crunch was always my favorite cereal…and you just made it a COOKIE. You’re my hero.
Cin-Toast Crunch is one of my absolute favourite cereals.
I can’t believe you baked it into cookies.
You are a genius.

These look divine! I bought the dough tastes so good with the pieces of cereal throughout! Gotta make these this weekend!
What a fun idea! Love these 🙂
These are simply awesome! Love cereal for breakfast but its even better in dessert!
How fun! My kids would love these… basically, you ARE a genius, & I love it!
Oooh these look delicious ! I am a huge fan of all things cinnamon (and of cereals as well) so I will definitely give these a go 🙂 Thank you for the recipe !
I came across this recipe via Pinterest and with this cereal being my boyfriend’s favorite, I knew I HAD to make them. They were amazing! They lasted 1 whole day and he is already asking me to make them again! Thanks for the recipe!
I RUSHED out and bought 6 boxes of Chocolate Toast Crunch the week it came out. Alas, it has a horrible health-food texture and NO ONE will eat it. With five cereal (Especially Cinn Tst Crunch) loving, chocolate loving people that’s hard to believe. I’m going to try your cookies to hide the cereal’s texture. Thanks!
Scoured the web for something to make with the remainder of a box of this stuff. These cookies turned out awesome!! They’re off to a bake sale this weekend. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this!
