Ingredients
- Unsalted butter – 1 cup (226g), softened
- Brown sugar – 1/2 cup (100g)
- Granulated sugar – 1/2 cup (100g)
- Eggs – 2 large
- Vanilla extract – 2 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour – 2 1/2 cups (315g)
- Baking soda – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
- Chocolate chips – 1 1/2 cups (225g)
- Rice Krispies cereal – 2 cups (50g)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. -
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. -
Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix well. -
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. -
Fold in Rice Krispies and Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. -
Shape the Cookies:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. For extra crunch, press a few Rice Krispies on top. -
Bake and Enjoy:
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chewy cookies, don’t over-bake; take them out when the edges turn golden.
- If you prefer crispy cookies, bake for a couple of extra minutes.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for enhanced flavor.
- Press extra Rice Krispies on top for additional crunch.
