Warning: This article may just change the way you eat cookies forever.
A man has gone viral after he posted a step-by-step video demonstrating how to bake tiny chocolate-chip cookies and transform them into a delicious cereal treat.
Keep scrolling to read more about the recipe, and to learn how to make them for yourself…
With endless hours to kill and quite literally nothing else to do, the kitchen has become our solace during these dark and difficult times.
Pizza, pasta, soups, stews… You name it, we’ve attempted to make it during our lockdown boredom.
We have been baking like crazy.
And we are loving it.
Because there’s nothing quite as good as a batch of homemade cookies, is there?
By creating tiny cookies that can be transformed into a cereal. Genius, I know.
The chocolate-chip cookie cereal!
Though it took him 2 attempts, Jason has now perfected his cookie cereal recipe, and he is ready to share it with the world.
Jason used a pack of Nestlé Toll House pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough… Though he stresses that, at home, you can make your own if you’d prefer.
And then sliced them crosswise to create small squares.
Justin stresses that the cookies need to be cut into even pieces.
He wrote: “You want to make sure they bake evenly or else some will burn and others will be undercooked. Instead of rolling them into balls, just round the edges. And add an extra chocolate chip on top for a prettier final product.”
They are baked for approximately 7 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Justin notes how they may be a little bit soft upon removal from the oven, but they will gradually harden once left out to cool.
It’s time to eat!
To avoid getting all the cookies soggy at once, Justin recommends adding only a few bites to your bowl at a time.
But they can also be enjoyed with ice cream as a dessert.
Justin explained that these cereals are a great opportunity to get creative. He wrote: “You can make any type of cookie into cookie cereal. It doesn’t have to be chocolate chip!”
