These Sugar Cookies Are Fun For The Whole Family To Make

My boys are lucky that we have a good friend, and close neighbor who bakes ALL the time. Because we don’t.

So one rainy weekend day my oldest son asked if he could make his own cookie creation. My wife grunted and I pretty much left the room to go watch TV.

Don’t you feel bad for him? I know there are people who would love this project with their 13 year old…I guess we just like doing other things with him. And don’t feel too bad for him, he got to go here and here this year. He’s a lucky kid.

It turned into a whole family project, and it was kind of fun I have to admit. And even better the cookies turned out awesome, we’ve made them a few more times since that day!

How To Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookies

You start out with a cut out sugar cookie recipe, we got our from our friend who we know is an expert so why mess around with anything else.

Make the dough then roll it out on a board. I am the king of all props and gadgets, so I had these Cookie Cutters with a rippled edge, or you can use a square cookie cutter. Or even just cut them out free form with a knife! That’s a good way to get the kids involved, too. Butter knife of course for the little guys…

Get your cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment and brush them with an egg wash. The egg wash is going to help the “Cinnamon Toast Crunch” topping stick to the cookies and not fall off when you pick them up.

Because we tried that in the first batch and it wasn’t fun. And we had to get these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookies right.

Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs on first and lightly press down with your hands, then load on the cinnamon and sugar.

Bake, let rest a couple of minutes if you can and enjoy.

What’s the moral to this story here? Do stuff with your kids even when you don’t want to – usually the reward is worth it. For us? We got tons of these tasty Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies. And some quality family time.

Win win.
