How to Make Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step helps create soft, chewy cookies.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Fold in the Crunch
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies and chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the cereal too much.
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
Step 7: Cool and Set
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will firm up slightly as they cool while staying chewy inside.
