Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Avoid overbaking for the best texture. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
