Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. - Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined. - Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. - Fold in the Chocolate Chips and Rice Krispies
Gently stir in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to overmix so the cereal stays crispy. - Scoop and Bake
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading.
- Try swapping out half the Rice Krispies for chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Use white or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
