Crispie Treat Cookies (Print)

These crispy chocolate chip cookies have the fun crunch of Rice Krispies cereal mixed right in.

# Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup (200g) sugar, granulated
02 - 1 cup (225g) butter, unsalted and softened
03 - 2 large eggs, beaten
04 - 2 teaspoons (10mL) vanilla extract, pure

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
06 - 2 ½ cups (315g) general-purpose flour
07 - ½ teaspoon (3g) salt

→ Add-Ins

08 - 1 bag (12 oz / 340g) of chocolate chips, semi-sweet
09 - 3 ½ cups (90g) of crispy Rice Krispies cereal

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and move the rack to the middle to get even heat distribution.
02 - Beat sugar and soft butter together on medium speed until it's fluffy and well combined—takes around 2 to 3 minutes using either a hand or stand mixer.
03 - Mix in each egg one at a time, ensuring it's fully blended before adding the next. Then pour in the vanilla and stir thoroughly till smooth.
04 - In a separate large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together. Stir the dry mix bit by bit into the butter mixture. Use a low-speed setting and stop when it's just combined. Don’t overdo it!
05 - With a wooden spoon or spatula, fold the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly spread throughout.
06 - Pour cereal into a flat bowl. Use a scoop or spoon to shape dough into similar-sized balls, then roll them in the cereal, pressing lightly so it sticks.
07 - Place the cereal-covered dough balls on parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each one with your hand before baking. Cook for 23-25 minutes till the edges are firm and the cereal has a golden hue—keep checking them towards the end.
08 - Take the cookies out and let them sit on the hot tray for 5 minutes before placing them on a rack to finish cooling. Keep leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

# Notes:

01 - Make sure your butter is soft for smoother mixing.
02 - Lightly roll the dough in cereal to keep the coating intact.
03 - Check cookies in the last couple minutes of baking to avoid burning them.
