Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet 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
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated for a smooth batter.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the Mix-ins: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal to maintain its crunchiness in the cookies.
- Shape and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked for a soft texture.
- Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring even cooling and perfect texture.
Notes
- Be careful when folding in the Rice Krispies to retain their crunch.
- The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center; this is ideal for a chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts alongside the chocolate chips.
