Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Pour 2 cups cinnamon toast crunch into the bowl of a food processor and process for about 15 seconds, until crumbly. Set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl: All-Purpose flour, cake flour, white chocolate instant pudding mix, corn starch, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, ~3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Turn mixture to low and gradually add in dry ingredients about 1/4 cup at a time, followed by the crushed cinnamon toast crunch and white chocolate chips.
