The trend started on social media, with users on Instagram and Tik Tok showing off their bowls of bite-sized goodness. Not only does chocolate chip cookies cereal look delicious, but it’s super easy to make. First, you’ll need a batch of cookie dough. You can use a chocolate chip, classic sugar, or any other recipe you prefer. To get perfectly teeny tiny cookies, measure out one teaspoon of dough, notes Wendy Kou, author of Colossal Cookies, ($22, Barnes and Noble). She’s also an expert on making super-small cookies. Put the little balls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for eight to 10 minutes. She even shares her homemade cookie recipe on her Instagram account, so your “cereal” can look just like hers. Justin Schuble, who runs the popular Instagram account @dcfoodporn, also uploaded his chocolate chip cookies cereal creation. After the popularity of the original post, Schuble shared another photo of his cereal with a few tips, specifically if you’re using store-bought cookie dough. Schuble writes to cut the dough into the same size pieces so they all bake evenly. He notes that adding an extra chocolate chip on top of each piece results in a “prettier final product.” Bake at 350°F for about seven minutes. After you let them cool for a little bit, feel free to add them to a bowl with cold milk. If you don’t want the cookies soggy, Schuble says to only add a few at a time. The chocolate chip cookie cereal is a childhood dream that’s perfect for any meal of the day. Schuble recommends adding your miniature dessert to a bowl of ice cream for the ultimate sweet treat.
