Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , softened
  • ½ cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (79ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup (45g) quick cooking oats
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups (62g) Frosted Flakes cereal

Instructions

  • Cream butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. You can also use a hand mixer. Add oil and stir until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mix until smooth, then stir in the salt and baking soda.
  • Mix in oats and flour until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and Frosted Flakes cereal. There is no need to crush the cereal; a stand mixer will do that for you. If you’re using a hand mixer, you may want to crush the cereal into large pieces before adding it to the cookie dough.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. No need to spread the balls out, you’re just going to chill them. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes to 1 hour. (If you chill longer than 4 hours you may need to let them warm up a few minutes on the counter before baking.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats. Place cookies 2-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the bottoms just start to turn golden brown. Cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • You can omit the chocolate chips; if so add 1 extra cup of Frosted Flakes. Alternately swap chopped nuts for the chocolate chips, or you can do a mixture of chocolate chips and nuts.
