How to make cookies with Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2 – Prepare two large baking sheets with parchment paper and reserve.
Step 3 – In a mixing bowl, blend the butter and sugar until creamy. Utilize a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix until the texture is light and fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Step 4 – Add the egg and vanilla, and mix to combine.
Step 5 – In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 6 – Gradually mix the dry ingredients mixture into the butter mixture until well combined.
Step 7 – Measure 12 cookies and shape them into balls.
Step 8 – Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake each batch for about 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake or they will not be soft.
Step 9 – Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool fully.
For the icing
Step 1 – In a small bowl mix the confectioners’ sugar with milk.
Step 2 – Mix in corn syrup and vanilla extract until the icing is smooth and glossy (if the icing is too thick add in a small amount more of milk).
Step 3 – Drizzle the icing over the cookies then sprinkle the tops with the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Step 4 – Allow to set completely on waxed paper or parchment paper. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
