Crunch
- 2 1/2 c. Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1/4 c. milk powder
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a medium bowl, add cereal and crush into smaller pieces. Add the milk powder, brown sugar and salt and toss to cover cereal. Stir in your melted butter until all your cereal appears to be coated evenly. Spread cereal mix onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes (until cereal appears browned). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before using in your cookies
In a pan, brown butter over medium heat. At first your butter will melt. Then it will start to develop the white bits. As it heats it will sizzle, stir it around. The butter will foam, and when it does this, stir continuously to prevent butter bits from burning. It will start to give off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat when butter bits are a rich brown color. Once you remove it from the heat stir in your sugar. Then add in your corn syrup and vanilla. Stir completely, but your butter will not fully incorporate with all the sugar. Add sugar mix to the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it cool completely. Using a paddle attachment, beat in the egg and egg yolk to the cooled butter mixture. Beat in ricotta and cornstarch, scraping down the sides of bowl as needed. Beat until butter mixture is creamy.In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Slowly add this to your butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
Scrape down the bowl and add 2 cups of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch crunch. Mix on low until crunch is just incorporated. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop out all of your dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place chilled dough 2 inches apart and bake for 12 minutes. Remove and cool on sheet for 7 minutes. While those are baking prepare your topping. Brown your 2 sticks of salted butter; this can be optional, just melt it if you prefer, and pour butter into container large enough and wide enough to dunk your cookie. In a separate, small bowl combine your brown sugar and cinnamon. Once cookies have cooled using a fork, dunk your cookies in the butter, lightly shake to remove any excess and then place into brown sugar. Use your fork to ensure even coating of the sugar. Set cookies on a cooling rack.
