Look, we get it. Baking can feel like a side quest you didn’t sign up for, but trust us—this one’s worth it.
These Cinnamon Toast Cookies by Emijuju are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with that nostalgic, cinnamon-sugary goodness. Oh, and they’ve got some sneaky CTRL Cinnamon Toast Meal Shake magic mixed in to keep things a little more balanced than your average sugar bomb.
Ready? Let’s bake. (Or at least pretend we did and eat the dough—your call.)
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter (room temp, because patience)
- 🍚 ½ cup sugar
- 🥚 1 egg
- 🍦 ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 🌾 1 cup flour
- 💪 ½ cup CTRL Cinnamon Toast Meal Shake (yes, really)
- 🎂 ½ tsp cream of tartar
- 🎈 ½ tsp baking soda
- 🧂 ¼ tsp salt
For the Cinnamon Ripple:
- 🍯 ¼ cup brown sugar
- 🍂 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 🧈 2 tbsp butter (room temp)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 🥄 ¼ cup CTRL Cinnamon Toast Meal Shake
- 🧈 2 tbsp melted butter
How to Make Snack History:
1️⃣ Mix It Up – Cream together the butter and sugar until it looks smooth and dreamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. (Try not to eat it yet.)
2️⃣ Dry Team, Assemble – In another bowl, combine the flour, CTRL Cinnamon Toast Meal Shake, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Merge the Worlds – Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix until just combined. (Overmixing is the enemy.)
4️⃣ Swirl Some Magic – In yet another bowl (we know, we know), mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter for the cinnamon ripple. Gently fold this into the dough, but don’t overdo it—you want those delicious ripples to stay visible.
5️⃣ Crumble on Top – Mix together the CTRL Cinnamon Toast Meal Shake and melted butter for the topping. Once you’ve scooped the cookie dough onto a baking tray, sprinkle this golden goodness on top.
6️⃣ Bake & Dominate – Pop them in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until they look like something straight out of your snack dreams. Let them cool (or don’t, we’re not judging).
Final Pro Tip:
Eat them warm for maximum joy, or dunk them in milk like the snack connoisseur you are. Either way, these cookies are proof that leveling up your snacks doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor.
Now, go forth and bake—because you deserve a cookie that actually tastes good. 🍪🔥
