Wahoo, it’s Thursday already!! Hope everyone is having a great week 🙂
Does everyone else have kids who BEG for all the sugary cereal like mine do?! It is a constant battle with my two 🙂 We don’t buy it all the time, but I caved in last week and picked up some good ol’ Cap’n Crunch. Before my boys devoured the entire box within a day, I created a cookie with bits of Cap’n Crunch inside! Can I just say these are so crazy good. I typically get rid of all my goodies after I sample, but holy cow I had at least a half dozen of these. I love the little crispy bits of Cap’n Crunch in each bite of cookie. Just wait till you try these 🙂
Hope you all enjoy!!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Another successful bake from a Picky Palate recipe!! These are DELICIOUS! This makes recipe three from the site for me… so far, no problems. Awesome!!
I think I’m the one with the sugary cereal problem–that’s why I never buy it! If I have a small bowl, I can’t restrain myself from having follow bowls… But maybe I could have enough self-control to get the cereal into some cookies…
OMG yum! My husband would go nuts over these cookies ^_^
I haven’t had Cap’n Crunch in years. It was one of my favorite cereals growing up. I’m going to have my girls help me make these cookies. I love the photo of the ceral box in the background with the cookies in front…..very cool!
We just made these and since all we had in our home was PB Cap’n Crunch we used that instead. They are very yummy! I can’t wait to try using crushed Cap’n Crunch on other things too. The french toast idea sounds so good.
I love the versatility of Captain Crunch. I’ve used it to bread french toast with in the past, and even chicken. Have you tried either?
You always come up with the most kid-friendly treats using cereal!
I can’t wait to try these! I’ve been looking for a recipe using this cereal for ages. 🙂
Oh my goodness…I’m in love with this recipe! Cap’n Crunch was one of my favorite cereals growing up! I’m sure I would devour these in a heartbeat!
These are great! And I absolutely LOVE the photo with the cookies and the box in the background. COOL!
These sound awesome! I can’t wait to try them!
I also need to pick up that honey roasted peanut butter I see!
So cute! Love the idea of adding the Capt Crunch!
Cute! Love cereal cookies! 🙂
Capn Crunch is my favorite cereal! These look terrific, although having the rest of the box of cereal in my house might not be a good idea, since I myself can finish a box off in two days.
At our house, we call sugary cereals “weekend cereal.” The girls (6 & 8) are allowed to eat it (one bowl) on any weekend day only (and vacation). That way, it avoids the “please, please, please.” They know just when they can have it and don’t bother to ask other times. And sometimes they forget! And despite the fact that that we have no less than 8 varieties of non-weekend cereal at any given time, we only buy one kind of weekend cereal at a time. No trying a new flavor until the old one is gone.
Hmmm, sounds delicious and the perfect cookie…for breakfast! 🙂
Oh yeah I’m definitely trying these!
I was thinking of you yesterday as we enjoyed a “rain morning” housebound. I made Peanut Butter Playdough (1 cup peanut butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup honey…mix and play! Put out edible decorations to make it more fun: pretzels, raisins, chocolate chips etc) and let the kids create masterpieces with our new Star Wars Cookie Cutters! Love the Cap’n Crunch idea!
I love using cereal to bake with!! I’ve been thinking of using my Peanut Butter Puffins (kinda like PB Cap’n, my favorite!!) in a cookie or bar… 🙂
I love all of your photos, always… but today especially, neat views. 🙂
Love the picture! Looks like the Captain himself can’t wait to gobble them up!!! The look delish 🙂
When is the last time anyone saw a recipe like this on a blog? Wow, can’t wait to make these treats!
i love captain crunch, these cookies look delicious!
Wow! Those look good. And I’m loving the new photography! 🙂
Awesome, love stuff like this. You could also use the PB Cap’n Crunch and kick up the pb even more.
I’m going to try your ice cream chocolate chip cookies today.
omg… peanut butter + captin crunch! You have blended two of my very favorite things!! 🙂 Yummy!
Ha ha! She left me a comment on my blog asking for the same thing. I just posted two Cap’n crunch recipes for her. Well looks like she has more to choose from now!

I don’t know about katherine’s dad, but I would enjoy these for sure!!!
I’ll definately be trying these! This was my fav cereal growing up! Yummo! Can’t wait to go to the grocery!
These look lovely. Cereal in cookies is the best thing. It adds that extra crunch. What a great pressie for Father’s Day!
What a delicious cookie, sorry you can not find peanut butter here in Brazil, so easily. I used Google Translator.
