Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (50 g) Rice Krispies cereal
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350F (175C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cookie release.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth foundation for the cookies.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, blending thoroughly after each addition. Pour in vanilla extract and mix until the liquid ingredients form a harmonious emulsion.
- Create a separate vessel and sift together flour, baking soda, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry components. Gradually introduce this powder mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent gluten development.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips and Rice Krispies into the cookie dough, maintaining the structural integrity of the cereal while distributing ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.
- Utilize a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion uniform dollops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, positioning each mound approximately two inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
- Position the loaded baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and slightly tender centers. After removing from the oven, let cookies rest on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to complete the setting process.
Notes
- Maintain crispy texture by gently folding Rice Krispies to prevent crushing, ensuring each bite delivers a delightful crunch without breaking the cereal.
- Opt for room temperature butter and eggs to create smoother, more evenly mixed dough that helps cookies spread and bake more consistently.
- Consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, more structured cookies with concentrated flavors.
- Experiment with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or gluten-free Rice Krispies for those with dietary restrictions, keeping the recipe adaptable and inclusive.
