One of the greatest joys of being an adult also happens to be one of my greatest vices: I can eat whatever I want for breakfast. While this typically means I can whip up homemade waffles [1] and avocado toast [2] seven days a week, it also means there's nothing stopping me from eating four bowls of this homemade chocolate chip cookie cereal. Inspired by the mini pancake cereal craze [3], TikTok users are now baking tiny chocolate chip cookies to serve up as cereal. Where was this genius idea when I was 6 years old?!

While some users are baking up a storm [4] and making their own mini cookies from scratch, the trick to throwing together a quick bowl of this chocolate-filled treat is to buy a pack of premade cookie dough. If the dough is flat, cut each preportioned cookie into six pieces. If you're using a tub of dough, shape the mixture into balls about the size of a penny. Follow the package instructions to bake and serve up with the ice cold milk of your choice. See more inspiration to put together a tasty bowl of chocolate chip cookie cereal for yourself ahead.
