Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins:
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- (Optional) ½ cup chopped Crunch bar for extra crispiness
- (Optional) Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Cream the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
3️⃣ Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
4️⃣ Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
5️⃣ Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6️⃣ Fold in chocolate chips and Rice Krispies, being careful not to crush the cereal.
7️⃣ Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
8️⃣ Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers are still slightly soft.
9️⃣ Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🔟 Enjoy your chewy, crispy, chocolatey cookies!
Notes
✅ Softened butter ensures a chewy texture. Avoid melted butter to prevent overspreading.
✅ Don’t overmix once you add the flour—this keeps the cookies light.
✅ Remove cookies from the oven while they still look slightly underbaked. They’ll continue baking as they cool.
✅ Mix it up! Add nuts, white chocolate, or dried fruit for fun variations.
