How to Make Crispy Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon water until well combined.
  4. Add 2 cups (120g) crushed Cheerios and 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
