'Pioneer Woman' Ree Drummond Reveals 'Dumb' Baking Hack for 'Delicious' Cookies
just shared her go-to baking hack for making super special and "delicious" cookies to honor a recent graduate, but honestly, this trick is a game-changer for all birthdays and celebrations going forward.
Over the weekend, The Pioneer Woman uploaded a video of herself baking several batches of her favorite chocolate chip recipe–just without any chocolate chips, and no, she wasn't going for the chipless chocolate chip cookie, either.
Instead of chocolate chips, she suggested using your preferred cookie recipe as a base and taking "your kid's favorite cereal and candy" and stirring it into the mix, similar to a Kitchen Sink Cookie, without caramel or toffee (unless you want it).
In the video, the Food Network personality appeared to be using a combination of Cap'n Crunch cereal, broken pretzel pieces, chopped dark chocolate, mini peanut butter cups and M&M's.

Once the cookies are cool, Ree said to "ice them with chocolate or vanilla frosting (whatever your graduate likes,) then sprinkle more of everything on top."
Though the cookbook author admits the hack is "kinda dumb," she also promises it's a "fun" and "delicious" ode to whoever you're celebrating.
"Might as well send 'em into their future happy!!!" she quipped.
Fans agreed, with one top-liked comment cheering, "this looks amazing! What a fun idea!🤤."
"This looks so yummy 😍," a second gushed.
"I've done this with Halloween candy," another admitted. "It's a great way to use it up. 🙌🏻."
As for Ree's exact cookie recipe, she said fans can recreate it by following the instructions laid out in her "Totally Terrific Cookies for Todd."
