Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and clean-up.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until combined; set aside for later use.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Combine Flour Mixture: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten.
  6. Fold in Crunch and Chocolate: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and mini chocolate chips, preserving the cereal’s crunch.
  7. Portion Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for extra crispiness.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough after adding Rice Krispies to maintain their desired crunch.
  • For extra crispy cookies, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to keep them fresh.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular-size chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Check ingredients for allergens such as gluten, dairy, and eggs before serving.
