The batter was dry (not much holding the cereal together). After baking, the dough seemed to expand and the cookies (
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Crisps) were a bit lumpy but tasty and decent texture. After that batch, I mixed the dough vigorously with the KitchenAid to crush the cereal a bit. It was more like a regular chocolate chip cookie, finer texture. Either way, they disappeared fast! Great idea for using up Cocoa Puffs. Thanks for the response!
