How to Make French Toast Cookies

The sweet treat you didn't know you needed

French toast cookies are definitely a thing, and I promise you, this is a recipe you need to try! If I could describe the flavor, imagine a milder version of a snickerdoodle. These cookies are sweet but not overly sweet, so if you're worried about your sugar intake, you'll be perfectly fine. So, give French toast cookies a try!

The "origin" of this French toast cookies recipe

I made snickerdoodles one day and my youngest loves pancake syrup. He took a couple of cookies and poured syrup on them and enjoyed them. So when I used the dad tax to grab a bite, I found out that it was delicious! I made a few adjustments to the cookie recipe focusing more on a lighter cinnamon sugar taste and voila! That’s when I decided to create these French toast cookies.

You can even take it up a notch by adding cinnamon sugar to the finished product and torching the sugar too for an added crunchy texture!

What Makes these Cookies Delicious?

  • They're incredibly delicious, especially warmed!
  • They can be topped with anything sweet! Pancake syrup is great for it too. You can make a simple frosting or even torch the sugar for added flavor, much like French toast cookies.

Ingredients Needed for the Cookies

  • All purpose flour
  • Butter
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
Best Practices/Tips

  • Although not a requirement, I would highly recommend letting the cookies chill for a couple of hours before baking. This recipe is designed to make the cookies immediately. However, like any cookie, I find it helps the flavor and texture of cookies to chill for a while. This is especially true for French toast cookies.
