Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 3: Add Rice Krispies and Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix to maintain the cereal’s texture.
Notes
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips gently to prevent the cereal from losing its crunch.
- Chilling the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps control spread and enhances the cookie’s texture.
- Additions: Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor.
