"So I've been experimenting with snickerdoodles lately (get ready for a few more posts ?) .
These ones were rolled in crushed fruit loops and drizzled with a cereal milk glaze - which OMG was so good ? .
Overall probably a bit too sweet but I love how colourful it was! ."

A Note from Feedfeed
These are no ordinary snickerdoodles! Instead of warm spices and lots of cinnamon these have crushed cereal thrown into the mix and a deliciously sweet cereal milk glaze!

ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fruit flavored cereal, crushed
ingredients
For the Glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup fruit flavored cereal, crushed
- A few drops of pink food coloring
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Mix for 1-2 minutes more.
Step 2
In a separate bowl mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add this to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, crush the fruit loops until they become a relatively fine powder
Step 4
Take dough out of the fridge, and separate into 24 evenly sized pieces. Roll into small balls until round and smooth.
Step 5
Drop into the crushed fruit loop mixture and coat well. Using a spoon or your fingers, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered and add to a parchment lined baking tray.
Step 6
To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool completely before adding the glaze.
Step 7
While the cookies cool, add your fruit loops to the milk and let sit for 5-10 minutes (the longer the more flavour it will have). Then remove the fruit loops from the milk and slowly add the milk to your icing sugar, teaspoon by teaspoon until you have your desired consistency. Add your food colouring and drizzle over the cookies. Sprinkle with any leftover crushed fruit loops.
