Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (30g) Fruity Pebbles cereal

Method
 

  1. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes until pale. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture in 2 additions on low speed, mixing just until no dry streaks remain.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Scoop 3-tbsp dough balls, space 3 inches apart, press to 3/4-inch thickness, and bake 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set. Cool completely on the pan, at least 20 minutes.
  4. Beat the cream cheese for 1 minute until smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat on medium-high for 2 minutes until thick and smooth.
  5. Spread frosting on each cooled cookie, scatter the Fruity Pebbles over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

The cookies can be baked a day ahead and stored unfrosted at room temperature in an airtight container. Frost and add the Fruity Pebbles within 2 hours of serving so the cereal keeps its crunch. If your frosting feels too soft to spread cleanly, 10 minutes in the fridge will firm it up without any other adjustments needed.
