Oatmeal Crunch Cookies

I had a vision of this cookie in a dream the other night. It was like "What if someone baked cookies with CEREAL in them? I mean, there's oatmeal cookies. That's cereal." So I made batch of oatmeal cookies and substituted in a cup of Honey Bunches of Oats. This is the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  
• 1/2 Tsp. baking powder
  
• 1/2 Tsp. baking soda
  
• 1.5 cups flour
  
• pinch salt
  
• 1 cup all-purpose oats
  
• 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.
  
• 1/4 Tsp. cinnamon
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 Tsp. Vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In an electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed through. Add the flour in small amounts until all of it is mixed in. Turn off the mixer and add the oats and cereal by hand and stir with a spatula.

Drop dough by the spoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute then transfer to a wire rack.
