Rice Krispie Chip Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)

Chewy cookies with chocolate chips and crunchy cereal in every bite

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
02 - 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
03 - 3/4 cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
04 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
05 - 1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 1/2 cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1 1/2 cups (45g) Rice Krispies cereal
11 - Optional: 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans
12 - Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How to Make It:

01 - Bring butter and eggs to room temperature. Measure all ingredients to streamline the process.
02 - In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer.
03 - Blend in eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients just until combined.
05 - Gently stir in chocolate chips and Rice Krispies using a spatula to preserve texture. Add pecans or cinnamon if using.
06 - For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
07 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
08 - Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Chilling the dough yields thicker cookies with less spread.
02 - Gently folding in Rice Krispies preserves their crunchy texture.
03 - Storing cookies with a slice of bread keeps them soft longer.
