Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe Description:

These Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies combine the best of both worlds—chewy, buttery chocolate chip cookies with a satisfying crunch from Rice Krispies! Perfect for bake sales, lunchbox treats, or a cozy weekend bake, these cookies are quick, easy, and packed with irresistible texture.

Ingredients:

• Butter – ½ cup (1 stick), unsalted, softened
• Brown sugar – ¾ cup (adds moisture and chewiness)
• Granulated sugar – ¼ cup (balances sweetness and texture)
• Egg – 1 large (binds ingredients together)
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon (enhances flavor)
• All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups (provides structure)
• Baking soda – ½ teaspoon (helps cookies rise slightly)
• Salt – ½ teaspoon (enhances overall flavor)
• Chocolate chips – 1 cup (semisweet or milk chocolate)
• Rice Krispies cereal – 1 ½ cups (adds a delightful crunch)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare
   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer).
3. Add Egg & Vanilla Extract
   • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips & Rice Krispies
   • Gently stir in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies, being careful not to overmix.
6. Scoop & Bake
   • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop evenly sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
7. Cool & Enjoy!
   • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Additional Notes:

• For Extra Crunch: Toast the Rice Krispies in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes before adding them to the dough.
• For Softer Cookies: Slightly underbake them by 1–2 minutes and let them finish setting on the tray.
• For a Richer Flavor: Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a deeper caramel taste.
• For Extra Chewiness: Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
