- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick baking.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl to ensure even ingredient distribution and eliminate potential lumps.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light, airy, and pale in color, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending thoroughly until the ingredients are completely integrated.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring carefully to maintain a smooth, consistent texture without overmixing.
- Delicately fold rolled oats, Rice Krispie cereal, and chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even dispersion of ingredients throughout the mixture.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining consistent size and spacing each cookie approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, watching for lightly golden brown edges as an indicator of perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture.
Notes
- Cereal Crunch Boost crush the Rice Krispies slightly before adding to create extra texture and prevent sogginess in the cookies.
- Chocolate Variation swap chocolate chips for dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on personal preference or dietary needs.
- Temperature Tip chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Gluten-Free Hack substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend and use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies for celiac-friendly version.
