Perfectly soft on the inside with a golden edge, these cookies are quick to prepare and bake, making them a delicious treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Add-ins

  • 1-2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside to be incorporated later.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, to create a smooth base for the dough.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined to incorporate moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten.
  6. Stir in Oats, Rice Krispies, and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the rolled oats, Rice Krispie cereal, and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown, indicating they are cooked through with a tender center.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set and prevents breaking.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let cool thoroughly.
  • Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your preference between 1 to 2 cups.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips.
  • Make sure butter is softened but not melted to achieve the best creaming results.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
