Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure the butter is at room temperature.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Use gluten-free blend for gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Can also use white chocolate, peanut butter, or dark chocolate chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop the dough into approximately 1 1/2-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies can be served warm or at room temperature. Pair with vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; can freeze for up to three months.
