Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice krispies cereal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your cookies.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your cookie dough.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending thoroughly to ensure a uniform consistency.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the rice krispies cereal, allowing the crispy texture to distribute evenly throughout the dough without crushing the delicate cereal pieces.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips into the dough, carefully distributing them to ensure each cookie will have a delightful chocolate burst.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers appear set but slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy the perfect blend of crispy cereal and classic chocolate chip cookie flavors.
Notes
- Embrace low-moisture ingredients like room temperature butter and eggs to guarantee smooth, even mixing without clumping.
- Crush rice krispies slightly before adding to enhance crispy texture throughout the cookie while maintaining delightful crunch.
- Substitute gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free rice krispies for celiac-friendly version without compromising taste or texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, more structured cookies with concentrated flavor profile.
