Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10mL) pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
- 1 12 oz / 340g bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ½ cups (90g) Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 325°F, positioning the rack centrally to guarantee uniform baking conditions.
- Utilize a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer to thoroughly blend softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Methodically introduce eggs individually, ensuring complete integration after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture achieves a smooth, homogeneous texture.
- Create a separate mixing vessel to whisk flour, baking soda, and salt into a uniform dry mixture. Gradually introduce the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed in three incremental stages to prevent overworking the dough.
- Delicately fold semi-sweet chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Transfer Rice Krispies into a shallow dish. Employ a cookie scoop to create uniform dough portions, rolling each ball thoroughly in the cereal and gently pressing to ensure complete coverage.
- Arrange cereal-coated dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, maintaining approximately 2 inches of separation. Gently flatten each ball and bake for 23-25 minutes until edges solidify and cereal coating develops a golden-brown hue.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes post-removal from the oven. Transfer to a wire cooling rack, permitting complete temperature reduction before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Customize the crunch by adjusting the amount of Rice Krispies coating for varying texture intensity.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like milk, dark, or white chocolate to personalize flavor profiles.
- Enhance shelf life by storing cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture and softness.
- Create gluten-free alternatives by substituting all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and using certified gluten-free Rice Krispies.
