Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and improves texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is key for cookies with great structure and chew.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a smooth, glossy dough base.
  5. Mix in Dry Ingredients and Rice Krispies: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal gently to keep their crispy texture intact.
  6. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them firm up with that perfect balance of crunchy and chewy.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Butter: Ensuring butter is soft but not melted helps achieve a creamy mixture that traps air for light cookies.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough can lead to tough cookies; mix just until ingredients come together.
  • Measure Flour Correctly: Use a spoon and level method to avoid packing too much flour, which can dry out cookies.
  • Cool Baking Sheet: Baking on a cool sheet prevents spreading and helps cookies keep their shape and crunch.
  • Customize Crunch: Adjust the amount of Rice Krispies slightly to get just the right amount of crispy texture you love.
