Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensuring it reaches the right temperature for baking cookies evenly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a good base for the dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and salt throughout the dough.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture, stirring gently until all ingredients are thoroughly combined without overmixing, which helps keep the cookies tender.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal to distribute them evenly without crushing the cereal.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating the cookies are baked through.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, which helps them set properly.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened, not melted, for best creaming results.
- Do not overmix once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
- Space cookies apart on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging during baking.
- You can substitute Rice Krispies with any crisped rice cereal for texture variation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
