Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups rice krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Binding/Optional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a clean workspace for your cookie preparation.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Gently fold rice krispies cereal and chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Optional: Drizzle corn syrup and milk into the dough, mixing lightly to enhance moisture and binding.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Boost crispiness by toasting rice krispies briefly in a dry skillet before adding to dough, enhancing their crunch and nutty flavor profile.
- Control cookie spread by chilling dough for 30 minutes before baking, which helps maintain better shape and prevents excessive flattening.
- Swap out chocolate chips for alternative mix-ins like butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or chopped nuts to create unique flavor variations.
- Accommodate gluten-sensitive diets by substituting regular flour with a certified gluten-free blend, ensuring everyone can enjoy these delightful cookies.
