Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugars

In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
This step builds structure and helps your cookies spread evenly.

2. Add eggs and vanilla

Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
The batter should be creamy and smooth.

3. Whisk dry ingredients separately

In another bowl, whisk together:

flour
baking soda
baking powder
salt

Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

4. Fold in the Rice Krispies and chocolate chips

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the cereal and chocolate chips.
The cereal may lightly crush — that’s fine — but avoid overmixing so the cookies keep their crunchy texture.

5. Scoop the dough

Drop rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If you want them to look like picture-perfect bakery cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each mound.

6. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–12 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown while the centers remain soft.

The cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center — that’s perfect.
They’ll firm up as they cool.

7. Cool on a rack

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
As they cool, the Rice Krispies retain their crispness, giving each cookie that signature crunch.

Tips for Success

Don’t overbake. These cookies brown quickly because of the cereal.
Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if you want thicker, puffier cookies.
Use mini chips for better chocolate distribution, just like in the image.
Add ½ cup marshmallows for gooier cookies (they’ll caramelize slightly — delicious!).
