Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
Fats, Binding, and Flavoring Agents:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350F (175C) and arrange parchment paper on baking sheets to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Introduce eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, then incorporate vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, whisking to eliminate potential lumps.
- Carefully integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain a smooth, consistent texture without overmixing.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavor and crunch.
- Create uniform dough portions using a tablespoon, positioning them approximately 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets to allow proper spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while maintaining a slightly soft center, indicating perfect cookie consistency.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets briefly for initial cooling, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and set their structure.
Notes
- Boost crunch by slightly crushing Rice Krispies before adding for extra texture and more pronounced cereal flavor.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Swap chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for unique flavor variations that complement the cereal’s sweetness.
- For gluten-free option, replace regular flour with gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies to accommodate dietary restrictions.
