Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gradually stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined.
Gently fold in 2 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Scoop mounds of dough onto baking sheets, leaving two inches between each mound. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Frost and top with additional Fruity Pebbles.
