Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (50 g) Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the wet ingredients:
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies:
    • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal too much.
  6. Scoop the dough:
    • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the Rice Krispies before adding them to the dough.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon for a subtle warmth, or swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
