How to Make Baby Cereal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/4 cup (50g) molasses until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 cup (about 50g) baby cereal (such as oatmeal cereal).
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) milk until a soft dough forms.
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
