Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal too much. If using chocolate chips or butterscotch chips, fold them in at this stage as well.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Be careful not to over-bake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crispy, chewy Rice Krispie Cookies!
