Baking Tips & Commonly Asked Questions
Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl when mixing the cookie dough and the frosting!

If you don’t you may end up with pockets of flour or other dry ingredients that are not properly mixed in. When this happens the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cheesecake Cookie Recipe can end up unevenly flavored or textured. Same thing goes for the 2 ingredient frosting!
