Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Rice Krispies: Gently fold in chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crunch, try adding an additional half cup of Rice Krispies.
- If you want to experiment, substitute Rice Krispies with Corn Flakes or Cocoa Krispies.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft, or freeze for up to three months.
