How To Make Rice Krispie Chocolate Chip Cookies, Step-By-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan aside.

Step 2: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir together and set aside.

Step 3: Beat the sugar and butter in a separate bowl using a stand or hand mixer for two to three minutes.

Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture. Beat well.

Step 5: Mix the flour mixture in the bowl until combined.

Step 6: Stir (or lightly mix in) the Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate chips. At this point, add the optional chopped nuts and mix. The dough will be thick.

Step 7: Grab your baking sheets with parchment paper or cooking spray. Add a heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie. You should get approximately 18 to 20 cookies.

Step 8: Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.

Step 9: Remove from baking sheets and cool the cookies on wire racks.

FAQs

What Is The Secret To A Crunchy Cookie?

This recipe only calls for white granulated sugar because this type of sugar absorbs moisture better, resulting in a perfect and crispy chocolate chip cookie. Of course, the Rice Krispies add an extra crunchy effect as well.

How Should I Store And Freeze These Cookies?

Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to three days. If you still have leftovers, add them to an airtight container, such as a Ziploc bag, and freeze them for up to three months.

Why Should I Use Parchment Paper For Baking?

There are three good reasons to use parchment paper when you bake cookies! This type of paper prevents the cookies from spreading too thin while baking, helps keep them from sticking to the pan, and avoids a baked-on mess.
