Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (225g), softened
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract (10mL)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315g)
1 tsp baking soda (5g)
½ tsp salt (3g)
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz / 340g)
3 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal (90g)

Instructions

Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and adjust the rack to the middle position for balanced heat distribution.

In a stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment (or using an electric hand mixer), beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract until fully blended and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Spread the Rice Krispies cereal into a shallow dish. Scoop out uniform dough balls and roll each one in the cereal, pressing gently so the crispy rice thoroughly coats the exterior.

Place the coated dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball with your hand. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 23–25 minutes until the edges are firm and the cereal turns light golden brown.

Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why roll the dough in Rice Krispies instead of mixing them in? Rolling the dough balls on the outside keeps the cereal super crispy during baking while preserving a soft, gooey chocolate center inside! Can I substitute dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips? Yes! Feel free to customize your Desserts Using Chocolate Chips with dark, milk, or white chocolate chips depending on your sweet preference. How should I store these cookies to keep them crunchy? Store your cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Avoid adding bread slices to the container as extra moisture can soften the cereal coating.
