Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt
- 1 1/2 cups (45g) Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat for about 30 seconds, just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low just until no more streaks of flour remain. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix.
- Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) or a spoon onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look just set. Check at 9 minutes if your oven runs hot.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use room temperature butter and egg for best results. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies to preserve crunch. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain crispness. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. For gluten-free cookies, use a gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free cereal.
