Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal too much.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add-ins: You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or add in M&Ms or chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freezing: Freeze the cookies by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
