Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients and Binding Agents:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and heating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, then introduce vanilla extract, stirring until ingredients are fully integrated.
- Separately, combine flour, baking soda, and salt using a whisk to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Slowly introduce the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to avoid overmixing and maintain a smooth consistency.
- Gently incorporate chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal throughout the dough, ensuring an even spread of crunchy and sweet elements.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to create uniform dough portions, placing them methodically on the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing.
- Position the cookie-laden sheet in the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until edges develop a golden-brown hue and centers appear slightly underdone.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
Notes
- Soften butter completely at room temperature to ensure smooth, even mixing and perfect cookie texture.
- Use a light hand when folding Rice Krispies to maintain their crispy crunch without crushing the cereal.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies.
