Directions for How to Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
Join us as we take you through all the steps needed to make this cinnamon toast crunch dessert! It is sure to become one of your family's favorite cookies with cereal recipes in no time!
You are going to begin making our sugar cookie toast crunch recipe by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside until our cookie dough balls are ready.
Our first step is we are going to combine the sugar cookie mix and finely crushed cereal in a large mixing bowl. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Be sure to mix these well!
Next we are going to add in our butter and egg and mix them together to form a cookie dough. Now, it will take a little work to get the dough to form, but give it time and it will come together.
Using a 2 tablespoon portion cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough into cookie balls.
Next you are going to roll each cookie ball in the coarsely crushed Cinnamon Toast cereal and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Hint: Place your cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart, as they will spread.
Lastly, you will bake your Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookies for 12 minutes. Then remove them from oven and let them stand for 2 minutes on a baking sheet.
Then move your cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
This recipe for Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookies makes 24 cookies.
Substitutions and Variations for our Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
I think that this recipe for cookies cinnamon toast crunch is perfect just as it is. However, I know that some people just love to experiment with their recipes!
- Cereal chocolate chip cookies - instead of using Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, try this recipe using Cookie Crisp cereal. Then add ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- Make the Cookies from scratch - if you do not like using cookie mixes and cake mixes in your baking, that's okay! Here is a from-scratch sugar cookie recipe. Just omit the chocolate chips that the recipe calls for.
- Egg allergies - if you need an egg alternative for this recipe, you can use any egg substitute at the supermarket. You can also use an equal amount of mashed bananas or unsweetened apple sauce.

Equipment you will need to make our recipes using Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
The equipment we use in baking definitely effects how a recipe turns out. For this cinnamon crunch recipe, I recommend the following equipment:
- Cookie Sheets - we like these cookie sheets with silicone grippers!
- Parchment Paper - We love the If You Care Parchment Paper brand. It provides a total of 70 sq ft of unbleached baking paper, compared to other brands that only offer 30 - 45 sq ft.
- Stand mixer fitted with paddle or whisk attachments / Hand mixer - While a KitchenAid Classic Series Stand Mixer may seem like a big investment in your kitchen, I have found that it has been worth it for me! I have been using my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer for over a decade and love it! This model is built to take it all on with the durable and built-to-last metal construction. It has 59 touchpoints around the mixer bowl for great mixing results. It has a 4.5 Quart Stainless Steel Bowl to mix up to 8 dozen cookies in a single batch. It is also dishwasher safe.
- Mixing Bowls - This Pryex Smart Essentials set includes 1-qt, 1.5-qt, and 2.5-qt round glass bowls.
- Measuring Cups - We are partial to this Pyrex glass measuring cup set. The 3 piece set includes 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup measuring cups.
- Cooling Rack for Baking - This Cooling Rack set has 6 supporting feet raise the entire wire rack for better air circulation which makes foods much crispier than just laying flat on a baking sheet.

Notes
A little about the history of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
It is hard to imagine, but Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal has been around since 1984! It is owned and sold by the General Mills company to this day. Interestingly, the original version of the cereal was plain squares with only wheat and rice.
It was only after scientist John Mendesh collaborated with Elisabeth Trach, the assistant product manager for General Mills that the cereal came about! John and Elisabeth entered a contest at the same time, and came up the idea of adding cinnamon and sugar to make it more appealing came about. This addition, although seemingly small, made all the difference in creating one of today's most popular cereals!
Every crispy square of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is blasted with General Mill's signature CINNADUST.
What is Cinnadust?
Well, it is just the irresistible mix of real cinnamon and sugar that makes this cereal so flavorful.
The ingredients for cinnamon toast crunch includes whole grain wheat, and NO high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. You will also be happy to know that every serving provides vitamins and minerals! It's a super fun option for a delicious breakfast or for snacking when you want a crunchy sweet treat!
