Placing a commencement social gathering collectively is about as irritating as occasion planning can get. You’ve obtained the decorations to pick, social gathering meals to arrange and the visitor record to handle. Oh, and all of that is occurring whilst you’re in your emotions about the truth that your child is one way or the other sufficiently old to be heading out into the world on their very own. It could possibly all be extremely overwhelming.

Nothing appears to part Meals Community icon Ree Drummond, although. It comes as no shock that she has provide you with the peerlessly homey, low-lift dessert thought to your graduate’s huge occasion.

What are ‘commencement cookies?’

Ree revealed her recipe for what she calls her commencement cookies in a latest Instagram publish. This deal with couldn’t be easier or extra heartfelt—and it’s way more memorable (and nearly actually tastier) than the usual sugar cookie shellacked in fondant to appear like a commencement cap.

To make Ree’s commencement cookies, merely comply with your favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe. When it comes time so as to add the chocolate chips, add your graduate’s favourite cereal and sweet as a substitute. In Ree’s instance, she seems so as to add mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, Cap’n Crunch cereal, pretzels and M&M’s to the dough earlier than giving it one ultimate mixing and placing it within the oven.

As soon as baked and cooled off, prime the cookies with chocolate or vanilla frosting—whichever your graduating visitor of honor prefers!—and sprinkle some extra of your cereal and sweet combination on prime.

Positive, it is likely to be somewhat messy, however that’s the way it’s performed on the ranch! If I might flip again the clock some 15 years to my final commencement, I can see myself loving this, although I’m undecided how my favourite cereal (Frosted Flakes) and sweet (Raisinets) would combine collectively. Possibly I’ll keep on with Ree’s instance as a substitute.
