Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mariano’s always has a discount rack right before the check out. Hannah and I are a sucker for that discount rack, and have been known to spend 10+ minutes looking at everything. Last week they had a box of Frosted Flakes on discount, and I immediately thought of Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies. Best idea evah!
I typically say that I am not a baker because it’s too scientific. The ratios have to be just right, and you can’t really just throw stuff in a bowl like you can when you are cooking. But I secretly love it. It’s calming and I don’t mind that it takes over an hour to bake a batch of cookies. It’s worth it.
These cookies will not be entered into the Weight Watchers app to see how many points they are. My guess would be at least 15 points per cookie, but these are a once in a while treat that are worth it.
Ingredients
Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies were inspired by the iconic treats from Milk Bar, but made easy for your own kitchen. Crunchy, buttery toasted Frosted Flakes are folded into a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie for the perfect mix of texture in every bite. A little crispy, a little gooey, and completely irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (we used dark)
- 2 1/2 cups frosted flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toast the frosted flakes: In a bowl, toss 2 1/2 cups frosted flakes with 2 tablespoons melted butter until evenly coated. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 5–6 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
Make the cookie dough: In a stand mixer, cream together the remaining 12 tablespoons softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the mix-ins: Gently stir in the chocolate chips and the toasted frosted flakes.
Chill the dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies: Using a 1/4 cup scoop, portion out the dough and place 4 cookies at a time on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If you are wondering what the Weight Watcher points or macros are for these cookies, I have no idea! Just make, enjoy and move on. 😍
The Dough
I wish you could taste this cookie dough because the texture alone is everything. It’s light and fluffy, almost like a soft cloud, and somehow perfectly balanced. Even with 3/4 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and those sweet frosted flakes mixed in, it’s not overly sweet. The flavors just work together in a way that feels rich without feeling heavy if that makes sense?
Eating Well Is About Balance
Eating well is all about balance, and that absolutely includes enjoying a cookie every now and then. Once I tell myself “no sugar” while on a weight loss journey, it only backfires and makes me want it more.
New Here?
If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband nearly 10 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.
In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.
Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes. It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.

Frosted Flakes are so good! I’m one of those weirdos that prefers the dough over the baked cookie. I’d like two scoops, please. =)
