Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and crispy rice cereal using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Crunch Cookies with a glass of milk or as a sweet treat anytime!
