Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-
2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
-
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each, then stir in vanilla.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal gently to preserve the cereal’s crunch.
-
Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are soft.
-
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
-
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30–60 minutes before baking.
-
Swap semi-sweet chips for dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips for a custom twist.
-
Add a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of marshmallows for extra flavor and texture.
