Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the wet ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and well combined.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add Rice Krispies and chocolate chips: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the cereal.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet: Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for closer to 8 minutes. For a crispier texture, bake for closer to 10 minutes.
- You can substitute the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or even add chopped nuts for variation.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
- For an extra fun touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty flavor.
