Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (175 grams)
Add-ins
- 1¼ cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it's hot enough for baking your cookies evenly.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Leaveners: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt till the mixture is uniform.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the batter and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Cereal: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal into the dough using a large spoon, ensuring even distribution without crushing the cereal.
- Shape and Bake Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie onto a lined cookie sheet, arranging approximately 12 cookies per sheet. Flatten them slightly and bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges start to lightly brown while the centers remain slightly soft.
Notes
- For perfectly soft cookies, avoid over-baking; remove them as soon as edges turn light brown.
- You can substitute Rice Krispies with other crispy cereals for a different texture.
- If preferred, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Double the recipe to make a larger batch for parties or gatherings.
