Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated white sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Mix-ins

  • 2 cups (about 60g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients and preheat: Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking and easy cleanup.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the white and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, which is crucial for perfect texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix in dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Rice Krispies and chocolate chips: Gently fold in the cereal and chocolate chips to ensure even distribution while keeping the cereal crunchy.
  6. Scoop and bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving a soft interior.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for better creaming and lighter texture.
  • Avoid overmixing after adding flour to prevent dense cookies.
  • Fold in Rice Krispies gently to keep them crispy.
  • Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dry cookies.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading and improve flavor depth.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies or dough balls for later use; thaw or bake dough directly from frozen.
  • Reheat cookies in microwave (10-15 seconds) or oven (300°F for 3-5 minutes) to refresh texture.
