Product 19 Cookies
Delicious cereal cookies featuring crunchy Product 19 cereal, chocolate chips, and a sweet vanilla flavor, perfect for snack time or dessert for the whole family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, soda, and salt.
- Add the crushed Product 19 cereal to the sifted mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the margarine or butter with the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla or maple flavoring until well blended.
- Gradually add the sifted flour mixture and cereal to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding nuts like walnuts or pecans alongside the chocolate chips. If you don't have margarine or butter, coconut oil can be a good substitute. Ensure the cereal is crushed well for even distribution in the dough. For a different twist, try using butterscotch chips instead of chocolate. These cookies are perfect for kids and adults alike.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delicious on their own but can be paired with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. For an extra indulgent treat, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a delightful addition to a dessert platter with other treats like Grandma Abie's Tea Cakes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag, where they can last for up to three months. To reheat, warm them in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes for that fresh-baked taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour?
Yes, you can substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just ensure it contains xanthan gum to help with the texture. The cookies may turn out slightly different in taste and texture, but they should still be delicious!
What can I do if my dough is too dry?
Additionally, make sure your butter or margarine is softened properly, as this can also affect the moisture content of your dough.
How can I make these cookies chewier?
For chewier cookies, try reducing the baking time by a minute or two. Also, using brown sugar instead of white sugar or a higher ratio of brown sugar can contribute to a chewier texture. Adding an extra egg yolk can also help achieve that perfect chewy consistency.
