These Breakfast Cereal Cookies are easy to make and incredibly versatile. The cereal flakes give these cookies a bit of a crunch, and the dried fruit adds some chew. They are perfect for a weekday breakfast since you can make them beforehand and simply keep them in a jar for the next few day (if they last that long!).
In a large bowl, using an electric beater on medium speed, cream together the butter, sugars and egg until smooth.
Add in the flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Beat on low speed until well combined.
Mix in the cereal flakes, dried cranberries and rolled oats. The dough will be stiff, so you may need to do it by hand, otherwise continue using the electric beater on low speed until well mixed.
Drop by rounded 2-tablespoons onto a baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
