Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter (for chocolate mixture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1 cup of unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Blend in the vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and crispy rice cereal until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone but will set as the cookies cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Once completely cooled, dip the bottoms of each cookie into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the cookies chocolate-side-up on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Store the Chocolaty Double Crunchers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
