1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

3. Cream the Butter & Sugar

• In a large mixing bowl, beat together:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for extra chewiness)
• Beat until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

4. Add the Wet Ingredients

• Mix in:
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Beat until fully combined.

5. Fold in the Fruity Pebbles & Flour Mixture

• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Gently fold in:
  • 1 1/2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
• Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies dense.

6. Scoop & Bake

• Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
• Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
