Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Fold in 1 ½ cups of cereal.
- Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop and arrange the balls on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least two inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies have set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Frosting
- Once the cookies have cooled, make the frosting. Add 2/3 cup of fruity pebbles to a small bowl and pour the milk over top. Stir well to combine and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve to separate the milk from the cereal.
- In a large bowl beat the butter with stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cereal milk until smooth. Add additional cereal milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Frost the top of the cookies and sprinkle the remaining fruity pebbles over the frosting.
- Allow the frosting to set and enjoy!
