Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Line four cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
3
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the melted margarine (or butter) with granulated and dark brown sugars. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6
With the mixer on its lowest setting, gently fold in the Cocoa Pebbles cereal until evenly distributed. For a more hands-on approach, you may prefer to do this step by hand using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon.
7
Drop tablespoonfuls of the cookie batter onto the prepared cookie sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least two inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 3 to 4 minutes before using a metal spatula to transfer them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
