Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure; swap for a gluten-free blend if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps cookies rise; always use fresh for the best results.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Infuses the cookies with warmth; adjust to taste or omit.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances sweetness; opt for kosher or fine sea salt.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter Adds richness and tenderness; use vegan butter for a dairy-free twist.
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar Sweetens the cookies and aids spreading; coconut sugar can make a great substitute.
  • 0.5 cups light brown sugar Adds moisture and deeper flavor; dark brown sugar can be used for robust notes.
  • 1 large egg Binds all ingredients together; for a vegan option, choose a flax egg instead.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Boosts flavor depth; imitation vanilla can work in a pinch.
  • 1 cups crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal Provides a unique taste and crunch.
For the Icing (optional)
  • 1 cups confectioners' sugar Sweetens the drizzle; ensures a smoothly finished touch.
  • 2 tablespoons milk Helps achieve the right consistency; choose dairy or non-dairy based on preference.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon A dash brings warmth; essential if you love extra cinnamon flavor.
