Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Sweeteners and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and thoroughly blend butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring complete integration after each addition, then introduce vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt through gentle whisking, creating a uniform dry ingredient blend.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring with precision to maintain a smooth, well-integrated batter without overmixing.
- Delicately introduce chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, using gentle folding techniques to preserve the cereal’s signature crispness and prevent crushing.
- Utilize a spoon or cookie scoop to distribute dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring consistent spacing between cookie portions.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven set at 350°F, allowing cookies to bake until edges acquire a golden-brown hue, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for several minutes, enabling slight firming before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Crunch Control: Fold the Rice Krispies gently to maintain their signature crispy texture, preventing them from becoming soggy during mixing.
- Cereal Swap: Experiment with different crispy cereals like cornflakes or Special K for unique texture variations that keep the cookie exciting.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Use gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free Rice Krispies to make this recipe accessible for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Temperature Trick: Let butter soften at room temperature for easier creaming, which creates a smoother, more consistent cookie dough base.
