Mexican Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies

If it were up to my kids they would eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

They love breakfast cereal, but then again what kid doesn’t? I remember being a kid, as I’m sure you do too, waking up Saturday mornings, and running to go serve myself a bowl of cereal as I watch Saturday morning cartoons.

I always let my kids pick out their favorite cereal so when General Mills Big G Cereal approached me to come up with a fun creative recipe with one of their cereals I knew it had to be my kids favorite — Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I came up with a really fun cookie recipe made with a combination of Mexican chocolate, cocoa powder, and finely ground Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

First of all, I was very surprised how beautiful these cookies turned out and I can’t wait to make them again.

I packed up these cookies and took them up to the mountains with us to enjoy over the weekend with friends and family after a day of snowboarding.

They are light and crunchy, but tender at the same time and full of chocolaty and cinnamon flavor. Everyone was a kid at heart as we enjoyed these cookies.
