Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (50g) Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
Sugars:
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
Seasonings and Leavening Agents:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Combine softened butter with brown and granulated sugars, whipping until texture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition, then infuse vanilla extract for enhanced flavor profile.
- Separately sift flour, baking soda, and salt to eliminate potential lumps and ensure uniform distribution.
- Merge dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain delicate cookie consistency.
- Delicately integrate chocolate chips and Rice Krispies, preserving cereal’s crisp texture without crushing.
- Form uniform dough portions using tablespoon, spacing evenly across prepared baking sheets.
- Refrigerate cookie dough for 30 minutes to enhance structural integrity and intensify flavor development.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown edges emerge and centers appear softly set.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for initial 5-minute cooling phase, then transfer to wire rack for complete temperature stabilization.
Notes
- Chill the dough to prevent excessive spreading, creating thicker, chewier cookies with concentrated flavor and texture.
- Crush Rice Krispies lightly before adding to maintain some crunch while evenly distributing cereal throughout the dough.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent cookie texture, especially butter and eggs.
- Swap chocolate chips with alternative mix-ins like butterscotch chips, white chocolate, or chopped nuts for diverse flavor profiles.
