Recipe Introduction


Increase the visual appeal of simple butter cookies by rolling them in crushed Froot Loops.


List of Ingredients




2 cups Froot Loops
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place Froot Loops on a flat surface and cover with wax paper or plastic film. Using a rolling pin, crush to fine crumbs. Do not mix the crumbs, as you want them to transfer variegated color to the cookies.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. Place the butter in the bowl of a standing electric mixer and beat until light. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the reserved flour mixture. (If too crumbly, add a tablespoon or so of water.)

Working with a piece at a time, shape the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Carefully roll each ball in the crushed Froot Loops. Place the coated cookies on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for about 14 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and transfer immediately to wire racks to cool.
