Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Cookie Stackers

Ever since my days at Purdue, I have always loved Cap'n Crunch Cereal.  While in college, I'd stock up on the little boxes of Cap'n Crunch that I could get in the dorm's cafeteria.  I never liked it with milk, though... only dry!!  I've always wondered what I could make with it... now I know!!! These are from Picky Palate blog.

Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Cookie Stackers

7 Tablespoons softened butter

1/2 Cup granulated sugar

1/2 Cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 Cup creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla

1 Cup all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup Cap’n Crunch Cereal, crushed with rolling pin

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until well combined.  Beat in peanut butter until combined then beat in the egg and vanilla.

2.  In a large bowl mix the flour and salt.  Slowly add to wet ingredients on slow speed.  Add in Cap’n Crunch Cereal until just combined.  With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet.  With the tines of a fork, press gently forming a criss cross shape over tops.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until baked to your liking.
