Ingredient Swaps and Additions
For a more indulgent twist, consider swapping white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate varieties. Add a handful of chopped nuts for an extra crunch. You could even try substituting Fruity Pebbles with Cocoa Pebbles for a chocolate-infused version.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well, and mix in the vanilla.
4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients.
5. Gently fold in Fruity Pebbles and white chocolate chips until well-mixed.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized dough portions on the baking sheets, keeping them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges are golden. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cookies alongside a glass of milk for the ultimate nostalgic experience. They also pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
Pro Tips for Success
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and better texture. For uniform baking, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. Don’t overbake; slightly underdone centers will set nicely as they cool.
Storing and Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. To enjoy them warm, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.

A: Yes, freeze scooped dough on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes.
