Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts, crushed into small pieces
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate oven to 350F (175C) and shield a baking sheet with parchment paper to guarantee pristine cookie development.
- Sugar Fusion: Whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture transforms into a silky, cloud-like emulsion with zero sugar crystals visible.
- Liquid Integration: Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, stirring until the components meld into a harmonious, glossy base with seamless consistency.
- Dry Ingredient Synchronization: Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together, ensuring a lump-free, evenly distributed seasoning profile.
- Dough Composition: Delicately fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending until just combined to preserve the dough’s tender structure.
- Pop-Tart Infusion: Crush brown sugar Pop-Tarts into delicate shards, dispersing them throughout the dough to create unexpected bursts of flavor and texture.
- Portioning and Placement: Utilize a cookie scoop to deposit uniform dough mounds onto the prepared sheet, spacing them strategically to accommodate natural expansion.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the sheet into the preheated oven, allowing cookies to bake for 10-12 minutes until the periphery achieves a golden, crisp finish.
- Cooling Protocol: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transition to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal textural development.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir dry and wet ingredients just until combined to maintain a tender, soft cookie texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Crush Pop-Tarts Strategically: Break Pop-Tarts into varied sizes for interesting texture, ensuring some larger chunks remain for delightful surprise bites.
- Temperature Control Matters: Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother blending and more consistent cookie spread during baking.
- Cooling Technique: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set their structure before transferring, preventing potential crumbling or breaking.
