Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (60g) Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and white chocolate chips carefully to keep the cereal intact.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon for extra crispy edges if desired.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter to prevent cookies from spreading too much. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Fold in Rice Krispies gently to keep them crunchy. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. Cookies firm up as they cool. Reheat briefly in a 300°F oven to restore crispness if softened.
