Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 3 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until combined.
Add the egg to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal with a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your zesty, crunchy Orange Crispies!
