Cap’n Crunch Cookies

Cap’n Crunch Cookies
I served these cookies to my husband and kids without telling them about the surprise ingredient. They gave them the thumbs up and never would have guessed that they were filled with Cap’n Crunch cereal. I am a huge fan of cereal, just about every kind, especially the sugary sweet ones! There was a box of Cap’n Crunch on the counter and I thought about the Top Chef finale where Richard Blais talked about making Cap’n Crunch ice cream. He substituted foie gras for the Cap’n Crunch and went on to win the title of Top Chef. I couldn’t stop thinking of the Cap’n Crunch ice cream. I’m sure Mr. Blais is too busy with his Top Chef title to let me know how he planned on creating the ice cream, so I gave these cookies a whirl. For a little something different, give these a whirl, they are buttery and rich in flavor. What’s the most unusual ingredient you’ve added to cookies?
Recipe: Cap’n Crunch Cookies

- 1/2 cup butter, softened

I LOVE Cap’n Crunch!! I can’t even tell you how excited I am about these cookies. They look sooo good, I’m making them asap!
Thanks so much for the recipe.
Thanks Lindsey!! Let me know what you think. I too LOVE Cap’n Crunch!
Years ago I worked at a seafood restaurant that served sea scallops coated in Cap’n Crunch and deep fried, with a kiwi-something sauce on the side for dipping; It was an appetizer and sooooo yummy! Maybe you could “recreate” it?
When I was making these cookies I remembered seeing a chicken recipe like that. I’m not a fan of scallops and I live in the middle of nowhere, so seafood is a little hard to come by, I’ll see what I can do!
How fun!!
Thanks! My kids thought so!
Do they cut the roof of your mouth? j/k had to say it…

I have never made cookies with cereal in them, I need to try that sometime. Thanks!
I’ve made cookies with rice crispy cereal in them and I’ve been contemplating maybe cinnamon toast crunch. I love trying new twists on old favorites like this.
Sylvie, that’s a good idea. Cinnamon toast crunch would be great!
I love Captain Crunch but it always hurts my mouth. Now we can have it in cookie form. Genius! Now for that ice cream…
Maybe I’ll try to pester Mr Blais for his recipe on twitter.
these look awesome and you’re a genius!
that’s all there is to it
Hey! I love these cookies! No, I adore these cookies!!! These are great thanks so much!!!
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL THEY USED TO SALE CAPN CRUNCH COOKIES IN THE STORE,DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT BESIDES ME?
When it says vanilla, does that mean vanilla extract or vanilla sugar?
