Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (310 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) chocolate chips
- 2 cups (100 grams) Rice Krispies cereal
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar, packed
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper for even cookie placement.
- Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base.
- Incorporate eggs individually, thoroughly mixing after each addition to ensure uniform texture, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, whisking to distribute leavening agents evenly.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Gently fold Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips into dough, distributing ingredients for balanced flavor and crunch.
- Using a tablespoon, portion dough onto prepared baking sheet, maintaining 2-inch spacing to allow cookies room to spread.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden brown edges as indicator of doneness.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes to set structure, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling and crisp texture.
Notes
- Crush Rice Krispies slightly before adding to enhance texture and prevent large cereal chunks from disrupting cookie structure.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more consistent cookie dough that blends ingredients evenly.
- Experiment with different chocolate variations like dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to customize flavor profile.
