Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
• 1 to 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

How To Make Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1 – Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents sticking and gives the cookies
perfectly golden bottoms.

Step 2 – Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda

Set this bowl aside for later.

Step 3 – Cream the Butter & Sugars

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer.
Mix for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy, light, and fluffy. This step
is essential for soft, bakery-style cookies.

Step 4 – Add Eggs & Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract. The dough should now be rich, smooth, and fragrant.

Step 5 – Combine Dry Ingredients With Wet

Gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the butter mixture.
Mix on low speed until just combined — do not overmix or the cookies may become tough.

Step 6 – Fold in the Mix-Ins

Gently fold in:

• Rolled oats
• Rice Krispie cereal
• Chocolate chips

Stir just enough to distribute everything evenly. The dough will be thick and textured — perfect!

Step 7 – Form the Cookies

Scoop dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
Place them on the baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8 – Bake

Bake the cookies for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown.
The centers may look slightly soft — this is perfect, as they will continue to set while cooling.

Step 9 – Cool & Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy their chewy-crispy perfection!
