Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams crisped rice cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully 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 on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the crisped rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Using the tines of a fork, gently flatten each cookie ball in a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Crispy Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
