Ingredients
To bring this delightful fusion to life, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
If you’re out of semisweet chocolate chips, feel free to substitute with dark or milk chocolate. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a handful of chopped nuts can add an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step reminds me of the patience my abuela instilled in me when making tortillas from scratch.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. The Rice Krispies should remain crunchy and light.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Remember, the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet even after being removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
