Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix until combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Add Cereal and Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll dough into 1 ½-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten gently with a spatula or fork.
- Bake: Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the centers are firm and edges lightly browned.
- Cool: Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: Smooth peanut butter can replace crunchy peanut butter for a smoother texture.
- Chocolate Chips: You can swap semisweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate based on preference.
- Nuts: Add chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
- M&M's: For a colorful twist, try mixing in M&M's or other candy-coated chocolates.
