Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Cornstarch
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
Set aside your dry ingredients.
Step 2: Brown the Butter
Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook while stirring often until the butter becomes golden brown and develops toasted bits at the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and let cool for about 10–15 minutes.
This is the best way to create rich flavor in homemade cookies.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whisk together:
- Browned butter
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Combine the Dough
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
Fold in:
- Fruity Pebbles cereal
- White chocolate chips
Use a spatula to gently combine everything.
Step 5: Scoop the Dough
Use a medium cookie scoop or large cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or cookie sheet.
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1-2 hours).
Step 6: Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your sheet pans with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Arrange cookies in a single layer with space between them.
If desired, press extra Fruity Pebbles and white chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie before baking.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly soft.
Step 7: Cool
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or cooling rack.
The cookies will continue setting as they cool.
Tips for the Best Fruity Pebbles Cookies
