Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

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

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream the Butter & Sugar:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla extract.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

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

4. Fold in the Mix-Ins:

Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Carefully fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, being gentle so they stay crispy.

5. Shape & Bake the Cookies:

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
