- Mix in Cereal: Stir in Krispy cereal until evenly coated.
- Shape the Cookies: Cover a cookie sheet or work surface with parchment paper. Add 1/4 cup scoops of cookie mixture onto parchment paper. Press down with a plastic measuring cup to flatten cookies. Let cool for 5 minutes, then shape the edges smooth and round with your hands.
