Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
Sweet Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture achieves a light, airy texture.
- Enhance the mixture by incorporating eggs individually, then introducing vanilla extract to develop rich flavor complexity.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Merge wet and dry mixtures gradually, stirring until a uniform dough forms without overmixing.
- Elevate the cookie texture by gently integrating crispy Rice Krispies and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, creating uniform mounds spaced approximately 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while maintaining soft, tender centers – a crucial indicator of perfect cookie doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and maximum crispness.
Notes
- Toast Rice Krispies in a dry skillet before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crispness.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, chewy center.
- Swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and ensure Rice Krispies are certified gluten-free for those with dietary restrictions.
- Store cookies between parchment layers in an airtight container to preserve their perfect chewy-crispy texture for up to 5 days.
