Chocolate chip Rice Krispie cookies combine two beloved treats into one irresistible dessert. Sweet, crunchy morsels promise pure delight for cookie enthusiasts seeking a playful twist on classic recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g / 8.8 oz) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340 g / 12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (50 g / 1.8 oz) Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats for uniform cookie baking.
- Creaming: Vigorously whip butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy and pale, creating a light base for the cookies.
- Wet Mixture: Gently blend eggs and vanilla into the sugar-butter mixture, ensuring a smooth and homogeneous texture.
- Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together, then softly incorporate into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Final Blend: Tenderly fold chocolate chips and Rice Krispies into the dough, preserving the cereal’s crunch and distributing ingredients evenly.
- Portioning and Baking: Scoop dough onto prepared sheets with 2-inch spacing, then bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers remain slightly soft.
- Cooling: Rest cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and textural refinement.
Notes
Maintain Butter Temperature: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for perfect creaming, which creates a light, fluffy cookie texture that helps cookies spread evenly.
Prevent Cereal Crushing: Gently fold Rice Krispies into the dough using a light folding technique to preserve their crunch and prevent turning the cereal into crumbs.
Uniform Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop or consistent tablespoon measurement to create evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly and look professionally prepared.
Watch Baking Time Carefully: Check cookies at 10 minutes to avoid over-browning; golden edges with a slightly soft center indicate perfect doneness for a chewy, crispy texture.
