If sugary cereal isn't enough to get you going in the morning, these cereal cookies might. As photographed by Drew Swantak, the cookie recipe comes from [Thrillist's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-breakfast-tea-amber) Perry Santanachote. The treats were made by baking cereal into white chocolate chip cookies with added oatmeal for health reasons.

Inspired by Food52, Perry churned shots of [Momofuku Milk Bar's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-crunch-cookies) cereal milk into [cereal milk ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-concrete-mixers) and used that to create a next level cereal-themed ice cream sandwich. The cereal cookies can be made with two cups of any kind of cereal you like and you can also make a mixture. Perry tried Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Fruit Loops and what appears to be Corn Flakes.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for food manufacturers to develop and produce cereal-based snacks, desserts, and infused products.
- **Bakery and Confectionery:** Potential for bakeries and confectionery stores to offer cereal-based cookies, ice cream sandwiches, and other innovative treats that appeal to cereal lovers.
