Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to help the cookies come off easily.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal, making sure not to crush the cereal too much.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
