Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

¾ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2–3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to crush the cereal to maintain its crispy texture.

Use Fresh Rice Krispies – For the best texture, use fresh, crispy cereal to keep the cookies light and crunchy instead of soggy.
Don’t Overmix the Dough – Gently fold in the Rice Krispies to maintain their crunch and prevent the cookies from becoming too dense.
