Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons (10mL) pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
Add-Ins:
- 1 12 oz (340g) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ½ cups (90g) Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the butter mixture in three additions, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Coat with Rice Krispies: Roll dough into balls, then coat in Rice Krispies by rolling and pressing lightly.
- Arrange and Bake: Place dough balls on baking sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 23-25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can customize these cookies by adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the dough.
- For extra decadence, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
