FROSTED FLAKE COOKIES

“True story, several days ago I had a dream about making Frosted Flake based cookies. When I woke up, I had my quest for the day all mapped out for me.  Taking one of my favorite chocolate cookie recipes, I incorporated some Frosted Flakes, but also created a cereal coating that gives this cookie an extra crunch.  Fun, different, and not at all soggy, as my 11-year-old son put it, ‘These cookies are actually pretty good.’  No son, ‘They’re Grrreat!’  Sweet dreams.”

1¼ cups Butter

Create the coating mixture by combining the crushed frosted flakes and turbinado sugar.
