Crumbl Copycat Recipe: Cereal Milk Cookie
A nostalgic dream — soft, buttery cookie base, creamy frosting, and crunchy cereal topping. It’s like your favorite sugary cereal and a bakery cookie had a sweet little breakfast baby.
🧈 Ingredients
Cookie Base:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
Topping:
½ cup vanilla frosting
1 cup crushed Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, or similar cereal
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla.
Whisk together dry ingredients; slowly mix into the butter mixture.
Scoop large dough balls (¼ cup each) and flatten slightly.
Bake 9–11 minutes until just golden on edges. Cool completely before frosting.
Frost lightly and top with crushed cereal for color and crunch.
💡 Pro Tips
Don’t overmix or overbake — you want that soft chew.
For real cereal-milk flavor, steep ¼ cup milk with crushed cereal for 10 min, strain, and use that in the dough.
Use brightly colored cereal for true Crumbl visual appeal.
