Ingredients
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1½ cups granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1½ cups cake flour
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal crumbs (finely ground)
2 cups Fruity Pebbles with Marshmallows cereal (or regular Fruity Pebbles)
2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the cold cubed butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the Fruity Pebble crumbs, Fruity Pebbles with Marshmallows, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Form the dough into large balls (about 6 oz each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them several inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use cold butter to maintain the thick Levain-style texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid spreading.
Chill the dough before baking for even thicker cookies.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven texture.
