I found the Hershey's chocolate cake recipe for beginner's and on Pinerest a recipe for white chocolate chip cinnamon crunch cookies. Doesn't that just sound amazing???
Because my husband is my main taste tester I take his opinion quite serious. When he mentioned dipping the white chocolate chip cinnamon crunch cookies in white chocolate dip, I listened. Turned out even yummier.
I will tell you the chocolate frosting recipe requires more powdered sugar and maybe next time no milk as it was quite runny and didn't afford me the opportunity for decorating the cupcakes. Although don't they resemble the Hostess cupcakes? Maybe I should have taken the white chocolate and made the famous design on top. I did consider placing the leftover white chocolate chips on top??? I also kept the house at 68 degrees.
White Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunchers
2 sticks softened butter
1 Cup packed brown sugar
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon real vanilla extract
2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 Cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal, slightly crushed up
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag white chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined. In a large bowl combine the flour, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the white chips until just combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough and place onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden brown.
2. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
