Description

Chewy oats, crispy frosted flakes and gooey chocolate chips make several delicious and thick Texas sized cookies. (‘Cause, you know, everything is bigger in Texas!)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 cups Frosted Flakes (I Used The Chocolate Kind This Time, But Regular Is Great Too)
  • 2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray. (Parchment will help the cookies spread less though.)

Beat together the sugars, butter, salt, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add eggs and mix to combine. Set aside.

Combine flour and baking soda in a smaller bowl and add it to the butter mixture along with frosted flakes, oats and chocolate chips. At this point you can refrigerate the dough until needed, or roll into balls about 2 inches in diameter (or use a cookie scoop), put them on the prepared baking sheet with plenty of space between them and bake for 12-15 minutes. Time will vary depending on whether you like crisp or chewy cookies.

Nuts can be added, but I usually leave them out.

We shop at Sam’s Club and they just recently started carrying chocolate flavored frosted flakes. I gave them a whirl in this recipe and they were great, however we usually just use regular frosted flakes so don’t sweat if you can’t find the chocolate version!

We don’t buy alot of cereal,so I’m not familiar with what’s out there.

These are delicious! The frosted flakes are a subtle flavor but they really boost the overall flavor of the cookie. A new favorite at our house!
