Ingredients

Cereal Clusters

  • 1 ½ cups Magic Spoon Cocoa Protein Cereal (or other chocolate cereal)
  • 3 oz. dark chocolate, melted

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (106) granulated sugar
  • cup (73g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (72g) unsweetened, plain yogurt
  • 3 tbsp dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 ¼ cup (172g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Add cereal to a large mixing bowl. Pour over melted chocolate and toss well to coat. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let set for 10-15 minutes in the fridge. Break into clusters and set aside. 

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together butter, sugars, yogurt, cocoa powder, and milk until creamy. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to fold dry ingredient into wet until a soft dough forms. Fold in 1/2 of the cereal clusters and all of the chopped chocolate. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes (ideally overnight).

  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Use a 1.5-2 tbsp cookie scoop to distribute dough onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with remaining cereal clusters. 

  4. Bake for 12 minutes. (Optional): To create perfectly round cookies, place a mug/glass or circular cookie cutter over the warm dough and do a little swirl to form a round cookie. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. (Optional): drizzle over simple icing and flaky sea salt.
